A surprised Wasim Jaffer was certainly not satisfied by the Team management's decision of handing the captaincy to KL Rahul for the 2nd Test in South Africa.

Naming Ajinkya Rahane as an undeniable choice, the former cricketer questioned when you have someone as good as Ajinkya Rahane available who has not lost any Test as a captain and won you a Test series in Australia, do you need to give the Test captaincy to KL Rahul?

Speaking to Inside Sport he further added that he supports KL Rahul but in absence of Kohli the team missed aggression, and Rahane would have been a better choice.

While KL Rahul made his debut as a Test skipper in Johannesburg, he failed to impress as India faced a 7-wicket loss against South Africa.

On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane who has played a pivotal role in many Test series wins was stripped of his vice-captaincy duties, which have now been handed to Rohit Sharma.  

India will next meet South Africa in the decider of the 3-match series in Cape Town on 11th Jan.
