Hardik Pandya front-runner to replace Rohit Sharma as India’s T20I captain
Hardik Pandya is the front-runner to replace Rohit Sharma as India’s permanent T20I captain. Rohit, alongside Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, retired from T20Is after leading India to the 2024 T20 World Cup glory.
As captain, Hardik has led India in 16 T20Is, guiding them to 10 wins. He has lost five matches and one game didn’t yield a result.
Hardik might lead the Men in Blue in the upcoming three-match T20I series in Sri Lanka later this month if available. As per reports, senior players Rohit and Kohli might skip the white-ball series.
A BCCI source told India Today:
"It is expected that in the absence of Rohit, Hardik and KL are the options to be given the responsibility of captain. Both have captained the team earlier."
"If Hardik is not available for the T20Is, you might see Suryakumar Yadav as captain in T20Is and Rahul in ODIs. But for now, it seems that Hardik and KL will lead the team,” the source added.
India's tour of Sri Lanka, which comprises three T20Is and as many ODIs will mark the beginning of new head coach Gautam Gambhir’s era in Indian cricket. The two-time World Cup-winning player has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with BCCI after Rahul Dravid chose not to re-apply for the role.
