Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has revealed the reality of the leadership tussle in the Indian cricket team.
Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the South African series due to injury.
KL Rahul will lead the 18-member squad that will play the series against South Africa from January 18.
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt said that last month Rohit Sharma was replaced by Virat Kohli while full time captain was appointed.
According to Salman Butt, Team India is now preparing to bring in new leadership so that he can lead the team for a long time.
That is why the leadership portfolio was taken from Kohli and given to Rohit Sharma, but in hindsight, KL Rahul seems to be the future captain.
According to Salman Butt, KL Rahul has fulfilled his leadership responsibilities in the IPL, which is why the board first gave him a vice-captaincy and now gave him a chance to lead on the front.
Salman Butt said that India has been planning like this and this is not the first time that this process started from the time of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The former Pakistan captain said that it was a good opportunity for KL Rahul to prove himself as a good captain.
