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. Not only this, Hardik Pandya also captained the Mumbai Indians team in the Indian Premier League 2024. 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

AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
