India opener KL Rahul has been named captain for the three-match one-day international series in South Africa with newly appointed skipper Rohit Sharma still unavailable due to injury, the Indian board’s selectors said on Friday.
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be vice-captain for the series. Fellow seamer Mohammed Shami has been rested while Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja remain unfit. “We had a good chat with Rohit and that’s the reason he is not going to South Africa and Rahul is captain.” Chetan said Kohli’s decision to step down as T20 captain came as a surprise with another World Cup on the horizon next year, adding that the selectors had urged him to reconsider and continue as captain before eventually accepting his decision.
