All-rounder Hardik Pandya will most likely lead India in the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka, which will begin on January 3 in Mumbai. The series’ second and third matches will be played in Pune on January 5 and in Rajkot on January 7.
It is acknowledged that Rohit Sharma’s thumb injury may require additional time to recover. However, it is unclear whether Rohit, the T20 captain, will resign or whether the matter will be put on hold for the time being.
India’s exit from the T20 World Cup semi-final in Australia has made it abundantly clear that the new selection committee will bring about a reorganization, but no official announcement has been made as of yet.
Here Are Some Tweets of Hardik Pandya T20i Captaincy
Likewise in spite of the hypothesis, it very well may be affirmed that there was no conversation on India’s T20 captaincy in the Zenith Board meeting.
The issue was not even mentioned in the forum or on the agenda of the Apex Council. “On the condition of anonymity, a BCCI official who was privy to the development told PTI that only the selection committee can make the captaincy decision.”
All-rounder Hardik, who has demonstrated his leadership skills for the Gujarat Titans, is thought to be an ideal replacement for India’s T20 structure, which could be completely reorganized.
Even though Rohit has a dislocated thumb and a webbing injury, he will rush to get back in shape for the Sri Lanka series.
Due to the 50-over World Cup, only six T20Is in a year will be given preference to ODIs. Since Rohit will not be participating in the T20 World Cup in 2024, it is imperative that he skip the T20Is unless he decides to quit the format entirely.
A former member of the BCCI who held office had an idea for President Roger Binny and Secretary Jay Shah.
“Rohit’s home ground is the Wankhede, where the first T20I will be played. Why don’t the selectors and BCCI secretary (Shah) give him a farewell T20 match so that the leadership baton is passed off with grace? He offered.
However, Hardik’s fitness as well as his ability to manage his workload will be examined prior to the ODIs.
