3 players who can captain India against Afghanistan

#2 Cheteshwar Pujara

India's rock at number three, Cheteshwar Pujara is perhaps the constant factor in India's Test outfit.

He captains Saurashtra in Ranji Trophy and has also led the India A side in the past. He has impressed people with his knowledge and tactical nuances.

If the selectors are willing to be more flexible and experiment, they might well hand over the captaincy to Pujara and see how he adapts to the role.

Also, his batting might hit another gear with this added responsibility, which will only be a bonus for the Indian team ahead of the critical England tour.
