According to a number of publications, Suryakumar Yadav may be considered a long-term candidate for the short-form India captaincy.
Right now in India, cricketers Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav seem to be the most talked about. Yadav has been elevated to the position of Indian T20I captain, while Pandya has been relegated. Despite being a member of the T20I team for the Sri Lanka Tour, Pandya is not even the vice captain. According to a number of publications, Suryakumar Yadav may be considered a long-term candidate for the short format leadership. This was rather surprising for Pandya, who served as vice captain for India during their victorious T20 World Cup campaign.
However, why did Gautam Gambhir, the new coach of the Indian cricket team, choose Suryakumar to be the T20I captain? According to a report, it wasn’t a direct call.
“Although Gambhir did not directly pitch for Surya in the call, he made it amply clear that he would want to work with a captain whose workload does not become a stumbling block,” a BCCI official told Hindustan Times. Agarkar expressed his opinions clearly.”
All-rounder Hardik Pandya has garnered backing from former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif to take over as T20I skipper.
“For the Sri Lanka tour, I believe Hardik Pandya to be the’shayad captain banne chahiye the.'” The Gujarat Titans, led by Hardik, qualified for the championship game in their first season under his leadership.As a T20I captain, Hardik has experience. He led his team in the T20 World Cup as deputy captain as well. With the arrival of a new coach, fresh arrangements will be made. After years of playing, Surya is also a skilled player. He is the top T20 player, so maybe he can carry the captaincy effectively. However, I think they ought to have supported Hardik,” Kaif said to IANS.
“Gambhir is a seasoned coach and captain…He is well-versed in cricket. “Hardik ne aisa koi galat kaam nhi kia ki unko captaincy na mile,” in my opinion, means that he hasn’t done anything wrong to warrant not being named captain. He is an accomplished player who led the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League, and he is now leading a youthful and inexperienced side to the trophy. In the IPL, he has helped the Titans win by operating from Ground Zero.He deserved to be the captain, in my opinion. So let’s just observe for now.”
