“Not a captain material,” Twitter reacts after KL Rahul named captain for Zimbabwe’s series
Indian cricket team will play three ODIs against Zimbabwe ahead of Asia Cup 2022.
Indian cricket team will be heading to Zimbabwe for the three-match ODI series against them. After this three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, India will play the Asia Cup which is starting from 27th this month. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already announced the Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2022 and they have also announced the squad player names who will be traveling to Zimbabwe before that.
Earlier BCCI named opening batter Shikhar Dhawan captian of the Indian cricket team, but after KL Rahul was declared match-fit, he was then named captain of team. Fans aren’t impressed with this decision from BCCI as they feel it is unfair to take over the captaincy from Shikhar Dhawan. Shikhar Dhawan was the captain of the team in the 3-match ODI series against West Indies and became the only skipper of Indian team to whitewash them in their home. But, KL Rahul will now lead the team in this Zimbabwe’s series.
Do you think KL Rahul's only chance to play as opener was to become captain? #INDvsZIM #RiseofShubmanGill

You have already announced the captain. why should it be changed before the start of the series and when Shikhar is such a senior player. is it fair for a Player to announce Captain) and demote him? shame on you @BCCI

KL is not at all captain material. He is a very good as a batsman. As a captain, he pressurize others in the team with his stand till the end approach.

Day is not far when @BCCI wil change captain mid innings or may be mid over.

Stupid and disrespectful move by the @BCCI, @SDhawan25 hasn’t done anything wrong, just won the series 3-0, has far better credentials in ODI’s than @klrahul and u just asked him to step down. KL is not a dynamic captain he should have just been selected as a player not a captain

@BCCI , it's great to have KL Rahul in Zimbabwe squad but it's completely unfair to take up the captaincy from Shikhar Dhawan at the last moment and handover to him. Completely unjustified !
I feel bad for @SDhawan25 just because there is nothing that he did wrong from his end.
