India Team New t20 captain: These days the Indian cricket team is looking for a new captain for the T20 format. Suryakumar Yadav's name is coming up more than Hardik Pandya for T20 captaincy.
Indian T20 Captain: Will Suryakumar Yadav be the next T20 captain of India?
The next task of the Indian team is the Sri Lanka tour. On this tour, a 3-match T20 and an equal number of ODI series will be played between India and Sri Lanka. Before this series, discussions have intensified regarding the T20 captain of Team India. Earlier Hardik Pandya was being considered the captain of T20, because Hardik was the vice-captain under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, Hardik was sure to become the next T20 captain, but now the report that has come out is really shocking, in which it was told that not Hardik but Suryakumar Yadav could be the next T20 captain.
Suryakumar Yadav led India in the T20 series against Australia and South Africa after the 2023 ODI World Cup. Surya's captaincy received a good response in both the series. If reports are to be believed, Surya has become the first choice of the team's new head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar as the T20 captain. Many media reports also reported that last Tuesday (July 16), Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar talked to Hardik Pandya about this change.
Who will be the new captain after Rohit Sharma?
Rohit Sharma was leading Team India in all three formats, but after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup title, Rohit said goodbye to T20 International. In such a situation, the search for a T20 captain has started. A regular T20 captain is being searched for the team from the Sri Lanka tour.
Hardik Pandya is fully fit and available for the three-match T20 series and was expected to lead the team but there is a strong possibility that Suryakumar Yadav will captain India not only for the Sri Lanka series but also till the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Why was Hardik Pandya not chosen as captain?
Hardik Pandya has suffered many major injuries in his career so far, due to which he has been away from cricket for a long time. Earlier, some reports claimed that Hardik's injury is being considered the biggest reason for not making him the next T20 captain. However, no official information has been revealed yet regarding the captaincy. Now it will be interesting to see who becomes the next T20 captain of India.
