IPL: 7 cricketers who are destined to be captains in future

Captaincy is a key aspect in any format of this beautiful game and especially in this fast-paced format where the captain has to think on his feet all the time.

Since its inception, the IPL has produced brilliant captains like Rohit Sharma, David Warner, Gautam Gambhir and many more. The goal of the tournament is to present to the opportunity of a lifetime to the young budding stars and also give a chance at redemption or further reward to the established stars.

Responsibility has changed the career of many cricketers over the years, and IPL has been the source for this. One such case is that of Rohit Sharma in which the leadership not only helped Mumbai Indians to clinch multiple trophies but also improve the 'Hitman' as a player.

The following list contains players are destined to be the future captains of an IPL side. The list involves experienced and upcoming players.

#7 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

"Sometimes it's the people no one imagines anything of; who do things that no one can imagine," the quote from the movie Imitation Games perfectly sums up Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

There will be a time in the future when the leader of the SRH and Indian bowling attack becomes the leader of an IPL side. Bhuvneshwar does not come across as a natural leader, but his calm nature and the drive to constantly improve makes him a good captain.

IPL has seen fast-bowlers leading the side in the past like Zaheer Khan, Shaun Pollock and Bhuvneshwar has all the qualities to be part of this elite list.

In the 102 Innings that he has bowled in IPL, he has taken a total of 120 wickets and even won the Purple Cap in the consecutive years. Captain or not a captain, Bhuvi is a valuable asset to any team that he plays.
