Or maybe keep playing dumb charades in T-20 for a couple of months and when the WC comes, hand over the captaincy to Rohit, it won't be a bad idea as T-20 WC is around the corner.
Yeah. Rohit is easily the best choice in the T-20 format since we all know how spectacular he has been as the MI captain so far rivaling even MSD in the IPL which is why he will probably lead the team in the T-20 WC.

However, Rohit and Kohli have a crazy unlucky streak when it comes to big ICC tournaments which is a cause of concern.

Rohit Sharma's has a good concern in the batting as well as in the IPL and also in the International Cricket when he play for his Team. But I have seen that when a person who is captain of the team then his performance has been slightly going downwards as I have seen in the Pakistan Team the most. Shahid Khan Afridi when he was the Pakistan Cricket Team's captain he didn't play and perform well, while when he was not the captain of the Team he played really well. In the same case happen with Sarfaraz Ahmed the former Pakistan Cricket Team Captain.

So, captaincy matter a lot for a batsmen and also for a bowler who have been made captain of the Team. Also there are many other players which are also in the same phase from different teams of the Cricket.

Australia in their last t20 match against India, what a game we have seen another sixes by the bat of Glenn Maxwell as he hits 8 sixes and 8 fours. What a innings so far, his batting performance was next level, and the most important thing is winning the match against India even they has their home ground. Although Australia played well game regarding their couple of matches and that was their 3rd T20 match which they won too easily.

And the target above the 200 is not so easy to made in that way. But Australia have made it. I have just seen their highlights again because wanted to see the Glenn Maxwell batting performance which are too good.

A loss today would mean that the team would fail to qualify for the 2024 world cup. Uganda, given their exceptional form so far is strongly favored (they had defeated Zimbabwe a few days back), but then you can't discount Kenya as well.

Sesaziwas deserves this reward because of his best performance in the match did a 60 score on 50 balls in which he did five 4s and two 6s. The Uganda team is more powerful than the Kenya not only in bating but also in the bowler's side. In the Uganda team, a bowler whose name is Hassun did 4 overs where he gave a small score of 39 runs and took r wickets in the match. Well, giving 39 runs is also a big run because it's not an ODI but a T20 match where he gives 39 runs on 20 balls. My opinion is Uganda is a good team but Kenya is also a good one we can not judge a team with just one match only as they both are emerging teams and finding their place in the T20 Cup.

The match between Uganda and Kenya is ongoing in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Region Qualifier. Uganda, after batting first has set a target of 163 for the Kenyans. The pitch offers a lot of support for the bowlers and it is going to be very difficult for Kenya to chase down this target. And if they win today's match, Uganda is almost assured of a spot in the 2024 T20I World Cup. They need to win their next match as well, but that is against one of the weakest teams (Rwanda) participating in this tournament. Kenya, once again is going to miss out qualifying for a major ICC tournament.
It is a very easy target if you put in the effort and struggle. Today match is very important for both team. If Kenya tried and struggled, she could have qualified. It is very bad defeat for kenya. Because they will not qualify for the tournament in 2024. They don't try, work hard, fight because of which they don't get a place in the finals.Kenya batsman and bowler played very slow and not well. He does not play with interest and support of other batsmen.Due to which Ho loses most of the matches.Uganda's batsmen and bowlers play quite well
In this world cup qualifiers africa match between Uganda played first and made 162/5 in 20 overs. Ssesazi make fifty and Nakrani played fearless 40 on 23 balls help Uganda set a good target. No players in keniya team played sensible inning and make 129 for all out in 19 overs. Bilal Hassun takes 39/4 wickets in 4 overs and Uganda won by 33 runs. Kenya and Uganda will play his last matches against Zimbabwe and Rwanda respectively.

If Pant regains his usual form and fitness then he would be the strongest contender for captaincy but only in Red ball cricket because for red ball you have to consider Home/Away conditions as well and he fits the bill for every condition. Rahul can challenge him in the test format if he starts working on his wicket-keeping, especially on turning wickets, plus agrees to bat in the middle order.  
True. I feel that he would be a strong contender not just in tests, but in the T-20 format too. I see Pant, Rahul and Iyer being great potential contenders for captaincy in the future once Rohit steps down.

Hardik was pretty average as a captain so far which is why I feel that he should just focus on playing as an all-rounder which is what he does best.
At this very moment, i'd very much prefer role-based captaincy in every format so won't mind 3 different captains for all 3 formats. Virat and Rohit have already set the formula for ODI and Test formats. In this WC everyone had their set roles in every slot and it almost paid off. We already know what Virat's lead test team did in the last 6-7 years, results are there for everyone to see.

Pant's spot is not fixed in the T-20 Playing XI or in some cases squad. There is so much competition for middle-order (now top order too) WK batsman who can play the finisher role so IMO he's not a strong candidate in the T-20, and the same with the ODI format if KL and Kishan are in good nick.

KL could possibly fit the captaincy role in test and ODI if he gives up his dream of becoming an opener (That's where (Top-3) everyone wants to bat because it's glamorous and a marketable spot in terms of money and deals). He should bat in the middle order (similar to the last ODI WC) and must work on his Keeping. As far as T-20 goes, as an opening/middle order batter, his spot is also not secured in the playing XI. The point is for his survival he needs to become a WK batter. Also, he's too depressed to lead the team in T-20 (maybe ODI too), you need attacking cricket in a short format.

Pandaya actually did a satisfactory job in his T-20I captaincy gig, if he's fit then he should get a long rope. Shreyas has a perfect attitude for captaincy but his fitness is shaky due to back injuries so it's a tricky situation as you don't want your captain to break down in mid series.

Or maybe keep playing dumb charades in T-20 for a couple of months and when the WC comes, hand over the captaincy to Rohit, it won't be a bad idea as T-20 WC is around the corner.

Had it been the Indian team victory, for sure Ruturaj Gaikwad would have been in the headlines and for sure the man of the match, Nothing to take away from Glenn Maxwell but we all know he is a great player. Not many people knew about Ruturaj Gaikwad and he really surprised the cricket community with his batting skills.
Well, he still made it to the headlines by Ruturaj Gaikwad smashes maiden international century; becomes first Indian to score T20I hundred against Australia and that is unique achievement though.

Rutu has been consistent in his batting performances for couple of years in IPL as well as Ranji seasons and there is no doubt that he is extraordinary talent and with yesterday's performance he is also banging the doors for a slot in the upcomingT20 wc but only two openers can play and there is already Gill and if Rohit wants to play then he has to wait a bit longer but definitely he is going to be a part in the future of Indian cricket.

Yes Today Uganda batted pretty well they scored 162 runs for 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs.I think 162 runs is a fighting score in T20 cricket for any team if they can bowl with the right line length then Uganda can win today's match.Simon Ssesazi scored 60 runs today for the Ugandan team.In his innings of 60 runs he played 50 balls and hit 5 fours and two sixes.
Uganda cricket team scored 162 runs leaving Kenya needing 163 runs to win.
At the moment Kenya cricket team has collected 61 runs for 2 wickets in 8.3 overs.They average 7.18 runs per over.

Currently, the match is paused because of the rain delay. Things are not looking good for Kenya right now. They have already lost four wickets and scored 76 runs but the problem is they have used up more than 11 overs so far. That is just not good enough for them. Kenya will be hoping that the rain goes away and they will be able to chase the target again. But even if the match is played again and the rain goes away, I don’t think Kenya will actually be able to win. Because the target is very big. And we all know that after the rain the track is going to behave a little weirdly.

Yeah ha ha I was really surprised that Australia played brilliantly. I made a post a while ago that Australia could win the match but they would need an average of 4 runs per ball. They have shown by winning such challenging matches. Such a magnificent victory is rarely seen. Australia has become a very popular face in the game of cricket day by day. to beat a team like India like that is quite commendable.

In this match I had placed a bet in support of Team India but could not win the bet due to a bad forehead. Seeing India's target of so many runs, I was very sure that Team India would win this match very easily. But it was beyond my imagination that Team Australia would perform so well.  I didn't understand that Australia team can win this match by surpassing the target of so many runs but Australia has made the impossible possible. Really in this match Australia has done an amazing performance in batting. The game was very beautiful but I was hurt because I lost the bet.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
Australia's performance in the third T20 series was extraordinary, especially Maxwell's batting in the last minute, Australia won. Australia needed 43 runs in the last two overs, but the two batsmen did not play with pressure, Maxwell's great century. Australia played a great game to win, and we really wondered how it was possible, but Maxwell made the impossible possible for him. India won the last two matches brilliantly against Australia but came to the third match with a stunning win in Australia. However, looking at the batting performance of this third match, it seems that there is a possibility of Australia winning the next matches against India.

Bowlers are to be given credit for this loss. I mean, Indian batters have done well in all these 3 games. Meanwhile bowlers letting Aussies create 200+ or close to it. Better performance is expected than this.

The Indian batsmen tried hard and succeeded where they set a target of 223 runs but when it came to the bowling, the Indian bowlers could not contain the Australian batsmen. Prasidh Krishna alone should not be blamed here as he conceded only 6 runs in the 18th over but needed 21 runs in the 20th over and he could not defend even this 21 runs. In this case, Maxwell is most responsible. So for now India's misfortune should prevail here. But the Indian bowlers also tried hard to control the match but they failed only because of Maxwell.

Although the Indian batsmen worked hard, but they could not succeed, instead the Australian batsmen turned the entire game upside down. Of course the last two overs were the most spectacular and interesting with Maxwell's batting performance leading to India losing. If it sounds ridiculous, we can say that it was mainly because of Maxwell's crazy batting that India lost. But in the beginning I saw the Indian team performed very well and bowled well, but unfortunately the Indian team lost in the third match. India's bowlers tried hard, but they could not stop Maxwell which led India to win, and Maxwell gave Australia a great win.

I know there are Politics in Indian cricket too. It's big mystery for me to understand why some of Indian star crickets was never included in the national team after a period of time.
Not following the context, do you mean former cricketer inclusion with the team selection committee or BCCI setup or what?

Whenever the likes of Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Hardik and Shardul are not available, then management tries their best to rotate new guys on a regular basis and you have to remember you can't have 20 Men's squads for the series.
Valid points which make complete sense, but I don't see the next Bumrah, Shami etc in any of them which is why I am being tough on them. Axar seems like a great replacement for Jadeja in the future.

Also, a random thought which came to my mind is to see Pant return somehow in fully fit condition and captain India in some or another format and end their ICC trophy drought.
In white ball cricket Axar is senior to these new cricketers and has a decent amount of exposure in red ball, still new at the international level (Tests) but more than enough exposure if we count his Ranji experience.

If Pant regains his usual form and fitness then he would be the strongest contender for captaincy but only in Red ball cricket because for red ball you have to consider Home/Away conditions as well and he fits the bill for every condition. Rahul can challenge him in the test format if he starts working on his wicket-keeping, especially on turning wickets, plus agrees to bat in the middle order.
