Hey abhigyan12,
You will need to add the people who you want to appear as authors. I just tested this using your theme, Baskerville 2, and it seemed to work.
First, you will need to invite the authors: Configure -> People -> Invite User (You can find this on the left hand side a few items below Blog Posts)
From here you will need to enter their WordPress username or email and assign them a role (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, or Viewer). You will likely want to set them up as Contributors or Authors. WordPress will then send them an invite via email. Once they have accepted the email you will be able to select them as Authors/Contributors within your posts.
A drop down will appear at the very top of your post where you can then select the different people. It will say ‘By (NAME)’ at the top.
You would then choose who wrote the post from that list.
Perhaps there is another way to achieve this, but if not, this solution should work for adding different authors/contributors to your posts.
Additionally, here is a helpful guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can clarify further.
I hope this helps!
