17th July 2024- In a surprising move, Suryakumar Yadav is set to be named the captain of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka, as reported. This decision places him ahead of the current vice-captain, Hardik Pandya.
The change comes in the wake of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory, which saw the retirement of veteran players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja from the T20 format. Shubman Gill had previously captained the team in the series against Zimbabwe. However, with Gautam Gambhir now taking over as head coach for the Sri Lanka series, Suryakumar Yadav is being considered the preferred choice for the captaincy role.
