Salman Buth, a former test explorer in Pakistan, was praised by Rishab Pant and selected as a future India captain. Booth was particularly impressed by Pant's leadership in the IPL 2021 season, which brought the Delhi Capitals franchise to the top of the scoreboard before the league closed due to the bursting bio bubble.
Pant has been in disastrous form with the hitter since traveling around Australia and producing key plays in Sydney and Brisbane before continuing his performances in the home series against England with stellar performances in Ahmedabad and Chennai.
Kuldeep Yadav opened up and said he was shocked when KKR failed to pick him up in Chennai during the 2021 IPL.
Although he was not in his destructive best in the last two editions of the IPL with a hitter as the capital, his captain's skills were appreciated by all as he took control of the injured Shrias Ayer and led the capital to the top of the table.
"I don't know the details about his internal cricket, but from what I have seen in the IPL, the Cricket Board (BCCI) might have some plans for cricket if they hand over the Delhi Capitals captain to Rishabh Pant in the future. But Collie is young and won't be. going everywhere for the next 8-9 years, "said Butt.
Booth also praised captain Rohit Sharma - who led the Mumbai Indian to five titles - a league record. Rohit also has a laudable record for India when given the opportunity to lead his country.
"Rohit Sharma is an amazing captain with Pant. I really like him as captain." "Strategically and tactically he is a very good captain," he said.
The former Pakistani batsman is also grateful for how Ajinkya Rahane led India to an incredible victory in the MCG after the 2020 Adelaide disaster. Rahane went ahead and brought one of the hundreds of great overseas Asian hitters in Australia while making insightful changes in the field and bowling.
With Koli absent, India continued to win series 4-1 with four matches.
"India recently won a series of tests in Australia with Ajinkya Rahane leading the captain. He is doing a very good job in Australia too. Tactically he is there and the decision making is clear," added Butt.
