It turned out to be a famous fantasy app but fans were not happy with that collaboration. They shared their views on social media.

During an exclusive chat with Khel Now, he opened up about the right approach for selectors for the next cycle along with the future of Rohit Sharma’s captaincy in the Test format. Prasad said: “I don’t know if I can answer this question. I don’t know the mindset of the selectors. Usually the mindset of the selectors should be now with the WTC cycle it should be a clear cycle, that’s how the mindset should be. Why not Virat Kohli? When Ajinkya Rahane can come back and become the vice-captain, then why not Virat Kohli? I don’t know what the mindset of Virat is on the captaincy. In case selectors are thinking beyond Rohit, I don’t know whether they are thinking but if they are thinking beyond Rohit, then I think Virat can also be an option”. 

He also pointed out Shubman Gill as one of the potential candidates for the captaincy in future. Prasad said: “See someone like Shubman Gill, now he is there he is the guy who looks the player for all 3 formats. I still think Virat can definitely be an option. If they are not looking at Virat then Why not Shubman Gill. I have a feeling that selectors are still waiting for a few more runs, few more months of cricket for Shubman Gill. See someone like Shubman Gill who started doing extremely well and suddenly you impose captaincy on him it might get affected. That’s the reason why there are considering to give some more time, by the time they will be grooming Shubman Gill”.
