Responsibility may be given till T20 World Cup 2026

If Suryakumar leads Team India to victory on the Sri Lanka tour and performs brilliantly, then Suryakumar Yadav can be appointed as the captain of T20I and can be seen leading Team India till the T20 World Cup 2026. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya may be dropped and he will continue playing as a player.

Hardik Pandya's card may be cut

After Rohit Sharma's retirement, Hardik Pandya was considered the strongest contender for the captaincy of the T20I team. He has more experience as a captain than these players and has also proved himself as a captain. In the Indian Premier League, he won the trophy for Gujarat Titans in the first season while captaining them and took them to the finals in the second season. However, while captaining Mumbai Indians, the team finished at the bottom of the points table last season. Despite this, his place may still be cut.
