#NoChanceForGillPant: Surya Likely to Lead T20 Team!


Who will be the next captain of India's T20 team after Rohit Sharma? Cricket fans are eagerly discussing this. Until recently, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya was considered the frontrunner. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were also rumored to be in the race. However, a new name has emerged – Team India's 360-degree player, Suryakumar Yadav. Reports suggest that Indian coach Gautam Gambhir has recommended Suryakumar Yadav for the T20 captaincy for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Gambhir believes Suryakumar is the best choice to replace Hardik Pandya due to Pandya's fitness issues. Gambhir has reportedly advised the selection committee to consider Suryakumar for the T20 captaincy.

Hardik's Fitness Issues:

Hardik Pandya's frequent injuries are a major concern. His fitness problems were evident during the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he played only midway due to injuries. Afterward, he went straight to play in the T20 World Cup. Considering this, Gautam Gambhir suggested appointing a fully fit player as a permanent member of the team and as captain. With Suryakumar Yadav's name now emerging, there are rumors that he might be the next T20 captain. Suryakumar Yadav has already led the Indian T20 team in seven matches, winning five under his captaincy. Given Gambhir's demand, it wouldn't be surprising if Suryakumar Yadav is soon announced as India's T20 captain.
