Team India will play two-match Test series against Bangladesh scheduled to commence on December 14, Stand-in skipper KL Rahul shared his thoughts on the vice-captaincy role handed to veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara, revealing he had no idea about the selection process.
The BCCI announced an updated squad ahead of the first Test match of the series, Skipper Rohit Sharma being ruled out, Abhimanyu Easwaran named his replacement and Cheteshwar Pujara appointed as Vice Captain in place of Rishabh Pant.
“I at least don’t know what the criteria is. Whoever is picked, you give yourself a pat on the back and continue. Even for me, when I become the vice-captain, you get happy that you have the responsibility of the team. It really doesn’t change too many things. Everybody in the team knows their roles and responsibilities and how much the team appreciates their contribution,” told the stand in skipper.
Whoever is appointed, he tries to take the responsibility: KL Rahul
“Rishabh and Pujji (Pujara) have both been brilliant for us in Test cricket. They have done the job so many times. So, we don’t really think so much. Whoever is appointed, he tries to take the responsibility and we carry on as a team. The team wins as 11 players and when we go down, we go down as a whole team,” added Rahul.
