As many as 6 players have led India across formats in the last 8 months due to several issues. The voyage started after Virat Kohli stepped down as India's T20I captain. Rohit Sharma now leads India in all formats.

KL Rahul is the name that might cross one's mind when we think of India's future captain. The top-order batter recently led Lucknow Super Giants to the Indian Premier League playoffs in their maiden season. #KLRahul

Hardik Pandya will lead India in the Ireland T20I series. Pandya led Gujarat Titans' title-winning campaign (IPL 2022). Besides showing his remarkable leadership skills, Pandya did well with both bat and ball throughout the season.

In 2020, Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals to their first-ever IPL final. He earned praise for his captaincy throughout the tournament. Iyer, who now leads Kolkata Knight Riders, has 27 wins as captain.

As stated, Pant led in place of KL Rahul in the SA T20I series. His on-field decisions were questioned as India lost the first two games. However, he led India to two consecutive wins thereafter. Pant averaged 14.25 with the bat and struck at 105.55.

Since July 2021, Virat Kohli (12), Rohit (14), Shikhar Dhawan (6), Rahul (4), Pant (5), and Ajinkya Rahane (1) have led Team India in international cricket. Dhawan owns the highest average among them in this period (42.80), while Rohit is unbeaten as captain.
