Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of Team India during the T20 World Cup 2024 and hence it was believed that he would lead the team after Rohit. But now reports have surfaced that SuryaKumar Yadav is the first choice of new head coach Gautam Gambhir as the T20 captain. Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya’s performance as captain in IPL 2024 was not good. However, he did tremendous captaincy for Gujarat Titans in two seasons. He made GT the champion in their very first edition and took them to the finals in the second season. After two good seasons with GT, he joined Mumbai Indians this year and the franchise made him the captain. But under Hardik’s captaincy, MI could win only 4 out of 14 matches. He was criticized a lot then and was also trolled a lot during the tournament. However, the all-rounder silenced everyone with his performance in the T20 World Cup. In IPL 2024, Hardik took 11 wickets along with scoring 216 runs in 13 matches, but in the T20 World Cup, apart from scoring 144 runs in 6 innings, he also took 11 wickets in 8 matches. According to reports, Hardik Pandya’s injuries in the past had an impact on the team combination. For this reason, Gautam Gambhir is in favor of making a player the captain who remains in the team regularly. Time will tell who will become the next captain between Hardik and Suryakumar Yadav, but let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both of them in T20 Internationals. Suriya looks better when compared to T20I captaincy, see stats Hardik Pandya’s captaincy record in T20I Matches- 16Wins- 10Defeat- 5Tie – 1Win percentage- 65.62 Hardik’s captaincy record in IPL Matches- 45Wins- 26Defeat- 19Win percentage- 57.77 Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy record in T20I Match- 7Wins- 5Necklace- 2Win percentage- 71.42 Now the question arises whether Hardik will be able to win back India’s T20 captaincy by defeating Suryakumar on the basis of his experience?

Trent Bridge Cricket Ground will be rejuvenated, the experience of watching matches will be better
Trent Bridge has hosted some historic matches Trent Bridge cricket ground (Image Credit- Twitter Keeping in mind the future cricket needs, Nottingham Country Cricket Club (NCCC) has decided to rejuvenate the Trent Bridge cricket ground. So after this, there is a possibility of partial demolition and replacement of the existing pavilion in the stadium. After these changes, the club hopes that the match experience for the spectators as well as the stakeholders is going to be great. So these changes in the stadium are being made keeping in mind the cricket, especially Test cricket, to be played between 2025 and 2031. After this new construction, it is expected that the audience experience is going to be better. It is noteworthy that the current design of the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground was based on a report prepared by Rushcliffe Borough Council in the 1880s. However, now this stadium is not able to match the modern standards of England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). For example, catering service and wheelchair facility etc. According to the plan prepared by the club, an attempt has been made to modernize the cricket played here. If all goes well, as per the proposed plan, the new pavilion could have 6 floors, with a large parking space, which can cater to the needs of the growing teams and support staff. After this new construction, with excellent club cricket being conducted at the ground, many big matches of international cricket are also likely to be held here. Current design changes to the stadium include replacement of seating arrangements and installation of storm drains around the stadium. After these changes the stadium will be able to meet the demands of the changing game of cricket. Well, it will be worth seeing that after how much time will the process of new construction in the stadium get the green signal from the ECB?
