Let us tell you that India and West Indies have to play the remaining matches of the series in Florida, USA. Both the teams will meet in the fourth T20 on Saturday (August 6) and the fifth T20 on Sunday (August 7).

If not Rohit then who will be the captain?

The Indian team management will hope that Rohit will be fit till the upcoming match but if it does not happen then who will take charge? In fact, KL Rahul is not part of the team on the current tour, due to which many people feel that wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant will lead India. Pant led India in the T20I series against South Africa. However, if Rohit is unfit, not Pant but all-rounder Hardik Pandya will take over the command of Team India, as he is the vice-captain.

The decision to appoint Hardik as the vice-captain against the West Indies was a bit of a surprise, but Pant’s T20I form could be one of the reasons behind it. Pant has not left much mark in the shortest format. On the other hand, Hardik is now showing his strength in T20 Internationals and ODIs. India did well in Ireland under Hardik’s leadership.
