In this tour, Suryakumar Yadav has been given the command of India’s T20 team while Rohit Sharma will captain the ODI team.
Today, on 18th July, India has announced its team for the Sri Lanka tour. In this tour, Suryakumar Yadav has been given the command of India’s T20 team while Rohit Sharma will captain the ODI team.
For quite some time now, there have been reports that Hardik Pandya could be given the captaincy in the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, but in his place, Suryakumar Yadav has been given this responsibility in the upcoming series.
Let us tell you, Hardik Pandya has captained the Indian team before and his record has been very good in it.

After the end of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma has retired from the T20 format and many people believed that now Hardik Pandya should be given this important responsibility.
However, many people are very disappointed that Hardik Pandya has not been given the captaincy of India in the T20 team for the Sri Lanka tour. However, Hardik Pandya will be seen playing for the Indian team in the T20 series against Sri Lanka.
Many people gave their reactions on social media regarding Hardik Pandya not being appointed as the captain of the Indian team’s T20 team:
As things stand, Hardik Pandya will play under Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav in ODIs and T20Is respectively. Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav will be captained by Hardik Pandya in the IPL. Connect-the-dots happening here. But as far as I believe, the recent developments will…

Rohit Sharma played politics with Virat Kohli & sacked him as captain.
Rohit Sharma played dirty politics with Hardik Pandya & Kl Rahul because they are close to Virat Kohli.

Politics won & the deserving guy lost.
Hardik Pandya could’ve been the perfect choice for t20i captaincy but selectors have chosen SKY who has 0 performance in pressure situations.
Feeling Sad for you my all time favorite @hardikpandya7 #BCC #HardikPandya𓃵 @hardik pic.twitter.com/jzERkZngVZ— Saurabh Kale (@saurabhkale07) July 18, 2024
Captaincy should have been given to Hardik Pandya. He’s the most experienced & deserving player.
Suryakumar Yadav can be a good batsman, but not a captain. We have seen him in IPL.
Why is Abhishek Sharma not in the team after scoring a century @BCCI #Gambhir #INDvsSL
