“I had not given it a thought till the names came out, till the articles or news have been doing the rounds.

The result did not go our way but it was a great learning experience for me and it would be something I will always be proud of,” Rahul said during a virtual press conference.

“Leading the country is always special for anyone and I am no different. Yes, it would be a huge responsibility if given to me (being the Test captain). It is something that is exciting, I am not really looking to anything forward, I am just focusing on the present,” he added.

“We can’t understand this. Everyone is throwing different names for captaincy. They don’t understand one basic thing. Rohit Sharma was appointed vice-captain for the test team for a reason.
