The schedule of the Indian team's tour of Sri Lanka has been released, but the Indian squad has not been announced yet. The Indian team for the Sri Lanka tour can be announced today or tomorrow. But even before this, the selection committee has got a headache regarding the captaincy of the T20 team.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from T20 International cricket. In such a situation, a new captain of the T20 team will have to be found for the Sri Lanka tour. If sources are to be believed, the new head coach Gautam Gambhir has made a complete plan to hand over this responsibility to Suryakumar Yadav, that is, he has expressed confidence in Surya.
Pandya got the captaincy for the first time in June 2022. Then in his very first T20 series, he clean swept Ireland 2-0. After this, under his captaincy, he has defeated West Indies, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. He has captained 6 matches against West Indies and 5 against New Zealand. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, India has won 10 matches and lost 5. 1 match was tied.
| Captain | T20 Matches | Won | Lost | Tie | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rohit Sharma | 62 | 49 | 12 | 1 | 0 |
| Mahendra Singh Dhoni | 72 | 41 | 28 | 1 | 2 |
| Virat Kohli | 50 | 30 | 16 | 2 | 2 |
| Hardik Pandya | 16 | 10 | 5 | 1 | 0 |
| Suryakumar Yadav | 7 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
Suryakumar Yadav is the captain who got the captaincy for the first time last year i.e. in November 2023. As a captain, Surya defeated Australia 2-1 in his first series. After this, he has also defeated South Africa under his captaincy. Surya has captained against Australia 5 and South Africa 2 only.
