Following India`s seismic defeat at the hands of a formidable Australian side in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has drawn most eyeballs among other factors. The questions levelled at Sharma are whether he will continue to be the Indian Test captain for the next Test cycle, considering his current form and the team’s recent performances. 

However, there is no imminent threat to his Test captaincy but he will need to rake up some significant numbers in the upcoming Test series against West Indies to eliminate doubts about his leadership in the traditional format. Sharma, meanwhile, will lead India in the two-Test series in the West Indies, following which his future in the traditional format will be decided.
