'Hardik Pandya hasn't done anything wrong...': Gautam Gambhir, Ajit Agarkar's T20I captaincy move questioned

Hindustan Times  

The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Thursday picked the squad for the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, which begins on July 27, thus marking the start of Gautam Gambhir's tenure as the new head coach of the team. The most notable selection decision made for the tour was naming Suryakumar Yadav as the new T20I captain in place of Hardik Pandya, who seemed primed for the leadership role after Rohit Sharma's retirement from the format last month. Hardik Pandya was not named as the captain of the India T20I side for the Sri Lanka tour Hardik was the vice-captain of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup on June 29 in Barbados, and it was a no-brainer when it came to taking over the reins in the T20I format after Rohit's exit. However, both Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar reckoned that Suryakumar should be named the new captain with the 2026 T20 World Cup in mind, which will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka in 2026. The decision, however, did not sit well with former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif, who reckoned that the Indian team management should have backed Hardik for the captaincy role given his experience of having led a T20 team in the past.
