R Ashwin spoke big about captaining the Indian cricket team
How is Hardik Pandya the captain? The off-spinner openly expressed his opinion on this
New Delhi. Ever since Virat Kohli left the captaincy. Captaincy in Indian cricket has become like a musical chair. From KL Rahul to Hardik Pandya, at least 7 players have taken up the responsibility of captaining the Indian cricket team. It also includes players like Rishabh Pant, Jaspreet Bumrah, Shikhar Dhawan and yes, Rohit Sharma is also in this list. This captaincy race has taken away the shine of being the captain of the Indian cricket team to an extent. Hardik has not been officially declared as the captain of T20. But, it became clear that now Rohit will play this responsibility in Tests and ODIs and Pandya will be groomed as the future captain.
Amidst all this, despite India being big match-winners in Tests in the last few years, an experienced player did not get a chance to captain. He is R Ashwin. He has been in the Indian team for a decade. But his name never came to the fore regarding the captaincy. However, he has definitely captained the Punjab Kings in 2018 in the IPL. But whenever it came to the captaincy of Team India, Ashwin looked away from it. No concrete reason for this ever came to the fore. But due to not being a permanent part of playing-XI abroad, his name was probably ignored.

I am ready for captaincy: Ashwin
Now Ashwin has cleared his opinion regarding the captaincy in the interview given to New Indian Express. Ashwin said, ‘I am ready for all kinds of opportunities. But, not captaining India is not something that has given me sleepless nights. Once I have retired, maybe I will have an answer to this question. But till then I will keep dreaming and keep waiting for the opportunity.
Hardik is being groomed as the next captain of India in limited overs cricket. He is already captaining in T20. India under his leadership, with victories in Ireland, New Zealand, now also managed to win series against Sri Lanka. So how is Hardik the captain? Ashwin spoke openly on this.

He said, ‘Hardik is a very smart cricketer. The thing I like about him is that he is very calm. Because he is calm and relaxed, I think it will give a lot of relaxation to the atmosphere in the team and the players will perform well as a unit.
