By WI vs IND: Where Is BCCI Heading Towards? 7th Captain To Lead Team India In 2022: Recently, the selectors announced the Indian team for the ODI series to be played on the West Indies tour (WI vs IND), and for this series, once again, a new captain was seen in the form of Shikhar Dhawan. Former Indian player Aakash Chopra has expressed surprise about Dhawan being made the captain. Dhawan will be the seventh captain to lead the Indian team this year.
Although Aakash Chopra expressed happiness over Shikhar Dhawan as the captain, he doubted whether it was right to appoint a new captain for each series. India has seen six captains across all formats this year, including Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah.

On his YouTube channel, Chopra spoke about how this policy could affect Indian cricket. He said,
“With so many captains, I have a question about whether it has become so easy to get the Indian captaincy. Is there a lot of match reason behind this? Are injuries a cause? Or is it because of workload management? Is Indian cricket in the right hands? Different captains will have different philosophies, so isn’t we heading in different directions”?
Let us tell you that the team selected by the selectors for the West Indies tour does not include the team’s key players. Players like Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested. At the same time, Virat Kohli himself had sought rest. After the England tour, the Indian team will leave for West Indies.
