There were many discussions regarding the captaincy of the Indian Test team after the 3-1 series loss against Australia in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Now a report has claimed that Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir wanted Virat Kohli to take over the captaincy of the Test team once again. According to the report, Gambhir had also talked to Virat about this. However, at the same time, chief selector Ajit Agarkar was discussing with Virat Kohli about the future of his Test career. It was clear that the selection committee was working on a plan to prepare the future team.

The report also said that during the Australia tour, differences had emerged on some issues between the then Test captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir. It was told that Rohit was not happy with the decision to bat in the middle order. The matter escalated so much that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had to intervene and handle the situation. Later, Rohit did not play in the last test. However, Rohit had said that the decision to sit out of the team was his own.
