The Indian team is to tour Sri Lanka for a limited-overs series later this month. The team has not been announced for this yet. It was believed that the Indian team would be selected on Wednesday, but later the news came that it had been postponed. After Rohit Sharma retires from T20 Internationals, there is a lot of discussion about who will be India's next captain in this format. Hardik Pandya was leading the race, but suddenly the discussion of Suryakumar Yadav's name intensified and according to media reports, Hardik has lagged in this race. The delay in the announcement of the Indian team raises the question of whether the team has not been announced yet because of the captain.
Hardik lagged due to fitness.
Hardik Pandya was injured during the ODI World Cup last year and it took him a long time to recover from it. Injury problems persist with Hardik, so the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the team management are hesitant to make him the regular captain of the shorter format of the game. It is being told that Suryakumar is the first choice of the newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir. Hardik usually used to lead the T20 team in Rohit's absence and was the vice-captain in the recently concluded T20 World Cup. When Hardik was injured during the ODI World, Suryakumar took over the command of the team against Australia and South Africa in his absence.
Gambhir-Jai Shah meeting?
Some media reports are claiming that Gambhir had a meeting with BCCI secretary Jay Shah through video call, where both of them discussed the upcoming tour, but could not reach a consensus on the T20 captain. In these reports, it was told that Gambhir wants to give the captaincy to Suryakumar, while Jay Shah is in support of Hardik.
Will Rohit play on the Sri Lanka tour?
Senior players like Rohit, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah can be rested for the series against Sri Lanka, but if the report is to be believed, Rohit may be available for the three-match ODI series. It is being said that due to personal reasons, Hardik will not be a part of the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Everyone is waiting for the team to be announced for this tour and if sources are to be believed, then the selectors will once again meet on Thursday regarding this.
