Who will captain the Indian T20 team? This is a question that most people will answer by Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of the team in the T20 World Cup. He made the team world champion by performing brilliantly and now since Rohit Sharma has left the T20 format, it is believed that Pandya is going to take his place. But it is not that easy. Pandya is definitely at the forefront in this race but it would not be right to say right now that he is going to win this race. If media reports are to be believed, the selectors can soon announce the team for the T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Will Hardik become the captain?

Hardik Pandya is leading the race for captaincy but the decision has been left to the new head coach Gautam Gambhir. If media reports are to be believed, a decision will be taken for Team India keeping in mind the T20 World Cup 2026. According to a BCCI official, all these issues will soon be discussed between Gambhir and the Chief Selectors.

Will Shreyas Iyer become the ODI captain?

Along with the T20 series, there is also an ODI series on the Sri Lanka tour. It is possible that Rohit may not play in this series, so who will captain the team is a question. A few days ago, KL Rahul's name came up for ODI captaincy but according to BCCI sources, nothing has been decided yet. According to a report published in Inside Sport, a BCCI official said, 'Nothing has been decided yet. Team India is very lucky that it has many options for captaincy. There were 3 IPL captains in the Zimbabwe series itself. There will be similar names on the Sri Lanka tour as well. There is a need to find the right captain in Rohit's absence.'

Another option is Shreyas Iyer who can return to the ODI team. Iyer has made Kolkata Knight Riders champion in IPL whose mentor was Gautam Gambhir. Now Gambhir is the head coach of the team, so don't be surprised if he makes Iyer the ODI captain.
