Team India T20 Captain: Rohit Sharma wants to make this player the captain of T20, not Hardik Pandya

Before the India T20 team is announced for the Sri Lanka visit, there is a lot of speculation regarding who would lead them. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are leading the battle to head the T20 team. Suryakumar Yadav appears to be receiving more support than Hardik. Rohit Sharma, who withdrew from T20 International cricket following the T20 World Cup in 2024, also wants Suryakumar Yadav to take over as captain instead of Hardik Pandya. This claim has been made in a report.

Claims have already been made in media reports that not Hardik Pandya, but explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav will be made the captain of India's T20 team. Hardik Pandya's fitness is believed to be the biggest reason for not making him the captain. It is also being said in many reports that his poor fitness records are becoming a hindrance in his path to becoming the captain.

At the same time, a TOI report said that Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir along with chief selector Ajit Agarkar were already in favor of Surya. Now Rohit Sharma also wants to make Suryakumar Yadav the captain. The report also said that Gambhir and Agarkar have already talked to Hardik Pandya in this regard.

Some reports have also revealed that Suryakumar Yadav will not be the captain of T20 Team India only on the Sri Lanka tour. He will be made the regular captain of T20 Team India till T20 World Cup 2026. Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya has captained this team before and has also been Rohit Sharma's deputy.
