2. Cheteshwar Pujara –
Cheteshwar Pujara is another experienced contender in the team who can take up the role of the captaincy. Pujara has played 95 Tests and be the ‘stand-in’ captain in Rohit’s absence. He is making a comeback in the team on the back of his prolific run in the recent county season. Giving that extra added responsibility could boost the confidence of Pujara.
