Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir prefer Suryakumar Yadav T20I Captaincy: The issue of captaincy of T20 International is quite heated in the Indian cricket team at this time. The Indian selection committee postponed the selection of Team India today because Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are still in the race for the T20 team. In such a situation, discussions are going on between former captain Rohit Sharma, coach Gautam Gambhir, BCCI officials and members of the selection committee regarding this decision. According to the Times of India report, Suryakumar Yadav is being said to be the first choice of captain Rohit Sharma and current coach Gautam Gambhir, who led Team India to victory in the T20 World Cup, but discussions are also going on about the name of Hardik Pandya.

Rohit Sharma does not want to make Hardik Pandya the captain?

Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya was being seen as the next T20 captain of the Indian team since the T20 World Cup 2022, but staying away from the field due to injury cost him heavily in this matter and in the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma led India to victory in the World Cup. After this, the issue of the next captain again heated up, in which Hardik Pandya's name was at the forefront, but now according to media reports, Suryakumar Yadav seems to be winning. The reason for this is believed to be that Rohit Sharma's first choice is Suryakumar Yadav and not Hardik Pandya and coach Gautam Gambhir is also seen supporting him well.
