After winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title, Rohit Sharma retired from T20. After this, the discussion started rapidly about who will now captain India in T20 cricket, for which the names of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav started being taken at the forefront in the race, but BCCI announced India's squad for the Sri Lanka tour and handed over the command of the team to Suryakumar Yadav.

 

In such a situation, everyone was surprised that despite Hardik having more experience, Suryakumar Yadav was given this big responsibility in his place. Recently, Chief Selector Ajit Agrakar revealed the reason behind this decision. He asked why Surya was chosen as the captain instead of Hardik.

 

Gautam Gambhir Press Conference: Why was Suryakumar Yadav made India's T20I captain?

 

The T20 series will be played between India and Sri Lanka from July 27. Suryakumar Yadav will captain India for this series. Why did the BCCI select Surya as the captain? This question was asked in Gautam Gambhir's first press conference as the Indian head coach. During this, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said,

 

'The captain should be the one who has played the maximum number of matches. That's why Suryakumar was made the captain. As far as Hardik is concerned, he is an important player on our team. His fitness has been a problem. We want him to perform well. We want him to do well. Suryakumar had the necessary abilities for captaincy.''

 

Agarkar further said that there are still two years left. We feel that during this time we can manage Hardik well. If someone's role changes then we talk.
