Agarkar told why Surya was given the captaincy instead of Hardik, then Gambhir gave a big statement about Virat-Rohit

Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team's new head coach, is holding his first press conference ahead of the Sri Lanka tour. Ajit Agarkar, the BCCI Chief Selector, is also with him. Before leaving for the Sri Lanka tour, Gambhir is holding a press conference to address the media and answer fan questions. In this press conference, Ajit Agarkar addressed the issue of Suryakumar Yadav being named captain instead of Hardik Pandya.

Ajit Agarkar said that Hardik Pandya has always been an important player for us. It is difficult to acquire skills like his. However, there has been a problem with his fitness for some time. Hopefully, performance is more important than anything else. Therefore, we need a player who is available for the team on most occasions. This is why Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy.

At the same time, Gautam Gambhir said about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma that they have shown what they can do on the big stage? Both of them have a lot of cricket left. If they maintain fitness in the Champions Trophy, they can also win the 2027 World Cup. They are still world-class, any team would like to keep both of them together.
