Delhi: There is a discussion going on in the corridors of cricket that India's explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav is now going to become the new captain of Team India. Even the newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir and veteran opener Rohit Sharma are in favor of handing over the captaincy to Suryakumar. Meanwhile, reports have also surfaced that star wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson can be made the vice-captain of the T20I team.

If this happens, it will be difficult for regular wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant to find a place in the team. Sanju Samson captains Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Recently, he also vice-captained Team India against Zimbabwe. However, its official confirmation will be on July 18, as the selectors will announce Team India's squad for the Sri Lanka tour today on Thursday.

For your information, let us tell you that the Indian team recently ended the title drought that had been going on for the last decade by winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 played in the United States of America (USA) and West Indies. The team captained by Rohit Sharma registered a historic victory by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in the final, after which Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from T20 International cricket.

After this, when Team India went to Zimbabwe to play a five-match T20I series, star opener Shubman Gill was made the captain of the Indian team. Under his leadership, the team won the series 4-1. However, senior players like Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah were rested from this series. Now it remains to be seen who becomes the captain of the Indian T20 team.
