The captaincy of the ODI series has been given to Rohit Sharma while the command of the T20 team has been handed over to Suryakumar Yadav.
India’s tour of Sri Lanka is starting from July 27 and in this tour, a three-match T20 and a three-match ODI series will be played. The captaincy of the ODI series has been given to Rohit Sharma while the command of the T20 team has been handed over to Suryakumar Yadav. Recently, Suryakumar Yadav welcomed the excellent all-rounder Hardik Pandya very well and both the players also hugged each other.
Let us tell you, before the announcement of the Indian team for this tour, many people believed that Hardik Pandya should be given the captaincy of the T20 team. However, Suryakumar Yadav was given this important responsibility instead of Hardik Pandya. There were also reports that Hardik Pandya is not at all happy that Suryakumar Yadav has been given the responsibility of the T20 team in his place. However, a picture going viral on social media has now proved all these things wrong.
As soon as Hardik Pandya reached Sri Lanka, Suryakumar Yadav was seen hugging him. Not only this, both of them were also seen having a lot of fun together. Gautam Gambhir has also been appointed as the head coach of the Indian team and this is the first tour of his tenure.
