Once Rohit was injured, I thought Virat would captain," Shastri told ESPNcricinfo

Kohli has no interest in being captain if the BCCI were to offer it to him, given the appalling way they treated him in the past. This is evident from his refusal to captain in his 100th test.

We regressed when we handed over the captaincy from a 34-year-old to a 36-year-old, and we should avoid doing it again. It's time to consider new faces, although some may argue that there are none available. However, if the selectors had the courage and intelligence to remove the deadweight players from the team when it was necessary, we would have had more options.
It might seem unrealistic, but I am rooting for Shubman Gill to become the vice-captain.

If Rishab Pant was available, he would have been an automatic choice for vice-captaincy in Tests.
