Who do you think should replace Virat Kohli as India Test captain?
“If given an opportunity, it will be an honour and I don’t see any player would say no and I am no different. Be it any leadership group, I always look to contribute however I can, to the best of my abilities,” Bumrah replied to a query from PTI in a press conference ahead of the ODI series against South Africa starting Wednesday.
Bumrah would be the vice-captain during the series and said taking responsibility and helping teammates comes naturally to him.
“I look at this situation in the same manner…taking responsibility and talking to players and helping them out has always been my approach and it will always be my approach going further keeping any situation in mind.”
Bumrah also said that the team respects Kohli’s decision to give up Test captaincy and was duly informed by the star batter.
