Prativindhya, oldest son of Yudhisthira, was the heir to the Realms of the Kurus- and thus, by extension, all Bharatavarsha- until his death. However, because of his young age- still in the early 20s when he was murdered, it seems there had never been a formal announcement on who would've succeeded Yudhisthira.
Prativindhya left no sons in the original Sanskrit versions (so kindly desist from telling me about random beliefs from the middle of nowhere-nagar) and so the Crown ended up passing to the eldest surviving male heir in the line, Parikshit.
