Suryakumar Yadav as T20 Captain: The next mission of the Indian cricket team is the Sri Lanka tour. The Indian team for this can be announced in 1-2 days. But before this, a big news is coming out. This news is a big setback for star all-rounder Hardik Pandya. While it is good news for Suryakumar Yadav.
Actually, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from T20 International cricket. In such a situation, Pandya was being considered as the captain of the T20 team for the Sri Lanka tour. But now according to the news received from sources, Pandya may get a shock.
Preparations to make Surya the captain in place of Pandya
BCCI sources said that we have to look at the future as well. We have to keep in mind the next 2 T20 World Cups and T20 series. That is why we need a player (captain) who can play and stay for a long time. In that situation, the coach and selectors are considering making Sky (Suryakumar Yadav) the captain in the shortest format (T20).
Sources said that Hardik Pandya will be available for the next tour i.e. T20 series against Sri Lanka. But now Surya can be given the captaincy in his place. Also, the Indian team for the Sri Lanka tour can be announced in 1-2 days.
This will be Gambhir’s first tour as a coach
Recently, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title last month i.e. in June. After this, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian team recently defeated Zimbabwe 4-1 in a 5-match T20 series at its home. Now the next mission of the Indian team is the Sri Lanka tour.
On this tour, the Indian team has to play 3 ODIs and 3 T20 series. The schedule of both these series has been released. Now the Indian team is yet to be announced for this tour. Let us tell you that this will also be the first tour of the new head coach of the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir.
