This player will be made the captain

After Rohit Sharma's retirement, the role of captain of Team India in T20I can be handed over to Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya is also the first choice of BCCI secretary Jay Shah. At the same time, Gambhir also has no problem with Pandya, so Hardik Pandya's captaincy is almost certain. Only its formal announcement is left, which can be done after returning from the Zimbabwe tour.
