Ajit Agarkar doubted Hardik Pandya's India captaincy ability as GT, MI stints outlined major flaw: Report

Hindustan Times  

The Board of Control for Cricket in India, earlier this week, picked Suryakumar Yadav as the new captain of the T20I team, with the 2026 T20 World Cup in mind. The top-ranked T20I batter pipped Hardik Pandya in the race to become Rohit Sharma's successor after the latter announced his retirement from the format post India's T20 World Cup win last month in Barbados. Ajit Agarkar was not convinced about Hardik Pandya's leadership abilities It was reportedly a joint decision made by chief selector, Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir, the newly appointed head coach of the Indian men's team. Hardik, who was expected to assume the leadership position after serving as the vice-captain of the T20 World Cup-winning team last month, was informed about the decision before BCCI made it official with the squad announcement for the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka. Various media outlets also reported that fellow members of the Indian team trusted Suryakumar more, especially after his stint in South Africa last December, ahead of Hardik for the T20I captaincy duty.
