The Indian cricket team is expected to announce their squads for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka on Thursday. With Rohit Sharma retiring from T20Is, the captaincy role is open, and both Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are leading contenders.
Recent reports suggest that Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) might have an edge over Hardik Pandya in this race.
According to sources, Gautam Gambhir, who is reportedly set to become the new head coach of Team India, has emphasized the importance of having a captain with no fitness concerns.
The Sri Lanka tour holds special significance as it will mark Gambhir’s first assignment with the team.
In the ODI series, Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the team, while Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are likely to be rested for this tour.
The series is important for the Indian team, especially after winning the T20I World Cup, as they prepare under new coaching leadership for upcoming challenges.
