KL Rahul has been working as the new vice-captain for the team. The announcement about Rohit Sharma as the Indian captain is expected soon and KL Rahul will continue as the vice-captain for Team India. Rohit Sharma will take over the charge from the next series of Team India with Sri Lanka and this also happens to be the 100th test match of Virat Kohli. To manage the workload because of a lot of cricket ahead, BCCI is keen to rest several crucial players in the upcoming months as there are two World Cups approaching soon.
