(Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India fast bowler and Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra said that he is not surprised by the Indian team management’s decision not to appoint Hardik Pandya as the new T20 captain. Nehra said that he understands the thinking of chief selector Ajit Agarkar and newly appointed coach Gautam Gambhir in choosing Suryakumar Yadav as the new T20 captain. Hardik Pandya, who will lead India in T20 in 2023, was Rohit Sharma’s deputy in the victorious World Cup campaign in the USA and West Indies in June. While Hardik was expected to replace Rohit as T20 captain, later after Rohit’s retirement from T20, the BCCI announced Suryakumar as the new T20 captain for the upcoming three-match series in Sri Lanka. Ashish Nehra is not surprised by Hardik Pandya not being made captain Regarding Hardik not being made the captain, Ashish Nehra said, “No, I am not surprised. When it comes to cricket, such things keep happening. Yes, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain in the World Cup, but at the same time, a new coach has also come. Every coach and every captain has different ideas. At this time, his (Gambhir’s) ideas are in the same direction.” The former Indian fast bowler further said, “I think Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir have made it clear, it is good. He is a format game There have been fewer ODIs game Hardik Pandya will continue to be a very important player for Indian cricket in white-ball cricket. When you have him, you can have 4 fast bowlers. He brings a different balance to the team and keep in mind, there is no more dominant player in international cricket. Not just Hardik Pandya, but when you have so many matches, there are changes. Even Rishabh Pant has captained, KL Rahul has also captained.
Ajit Agarkar doubts Hardik Pandya’s captaincy ability, this is why he was stripped of the captaincy
According to a Hindustan Times report, BCCI chief selector, Ajit Agarkar was unsure about Pandya’s ability as a captain as he noted flaws in his captaincy with GT and MI in the IPL. Notably, the all-rounder was also named as India’s vice-captain for the World Cup 2023 and had to leave the tournament midway after getting injured in a match against Bangladesh. Gautam Gambhir is not sure about Hardik Pandya’s bowling in ODI format However, he has captained India in 16 T20Is and three ODIs when permanent skipper Rohit Sharma was not available. The 30-year-old sought a break from the upcoming white-ball tour after a tough T20 World Cup campaign but the management turned down the request. He has been included in the T20I squad and earlier, head coach, Gautam Gambhir reportedly expected the cricketer to prove his bowling fitness to stay in the ODI format. Gambhir had expressed uncertainty about Pandya’s fitness to bowl 10 overs in ODIs and asked the right-arm pacer to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Mumbai Indians’ new captain Hardik Pandya has not played any ODIs since the World Cup 2023 and has also not been included in the 50-over squad for the Sri Lanka tour. India will play three ODIs and as many T20Is against Sri Lanka, with the first T20I starting on July 27. To everyone’s surprise, BCCI has dropped Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma from any format for the Sri Lanka tour and Riyan Parag is part of both squads.

SuryaKumar Yadav was appointed the captain of the T20I team, while Rohit Sharma will continue to lead the ODI team. However, the most surprising thing during this time was that Hardik Pandya was removed from the vice-captaincy and Shubman Gill was given this responsibility. Let us tell you that Hardik was the vice-captain of the T20 World Cup 2024 winning team and after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20I, he was being considered as the next captain. But Suryakumar Yadav surpassed the experienced all-rounder. Meanwhile, Mohammad Kaif respected Suryakumar’s batting talent, but he feels that Hardik’s experience as a captain should have been taken into account. Now, a new coach has come, there will be new planning – Mohammad Kaif Mohammad Kaif was quoted by Times of India as saying, Hardik has captained Gujarat Titans for 2 years and in his very first year he made it to the finals… Hardik has experience of captaining a T20I team. He was also the vice-captain in the T20 World Cup. Now, a new coach has come, there will be new planning. He said, ‘Surya is also a good player, he has been playing for years, I hope he will handle the responsibility of captaincy well. But, I think he should have supported Hardik.’ Continuing his talk, Kaif said, Gambhir is an experienced captain and coach. He understands cricket very well. I think Hardik has not done anything wrong that he should not get the captaincy. Mohammad Kaif said, he has experience. He has captained in IPL and has won the trophy for a new team (Gujarat Titans) with new and young faces, which is a big thing. He worked from ground zero in IPL and led Titans to victory. I think he deserved the captaincy. So let’s wait and see now.
Team India T20I Captain: Suryakumar Yadav or Hardik Pandya – whom is Rohit Sharma supporting for captaincy?
It is being claimed in media reports that Suryakumar Yadav He could be the next captain of the Indian team. Hardik Pandya was selected as the vice-captain for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, so he was seen as Rohit’s successor. However, due to his fitness and frequent absence from the team, he will not be given this responsibility. Team India T20I Captain: Who does Rohit Sharma want to make the captain of Team India A report in Times of India claimed that former captain Rohit Sharma too to Suryakumar Yadav They want to make him the captain. The report also said that head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar have also suggested the name of Suryakumar Yadav. It is also being said that both of them have discussed this with Hardik Pandya as well.
“Because of captaincy in IPL….” Rituraj Gaikwad made a bold statement about his batting
Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has said that after captaining IPL franchise CSK, he has now become more involved in the game. Ruturaj Gaikwad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The third match of the 5-match T20 series between India and Zimbabwe will be played at Harare Sports Club on July 10. Talking about the 2 matches played so far, Zimbabwe has won one, while in the second match, India made a great comeback by winning and leveled the series 1-1. Rituraj Gaikwad made a great comeback After getting out for 7 runs in the first match, Gaikwad proved his form in the second match by playing a brilliant unbeaten innings of 77 runs. Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has said that after captaining IPL franchise CSK, he has now become more involved in the game. Notably, Gaikwad was appointed the captain of CSK ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) after Dhoni resigned from the captaincy. The 27-year-old had a good start to his captaincy tenure as Chennai began the tournament with four wins out of the first six matches. However, the team failed to maintain the momentum and missed out on a playoff berth after losing their last match against RCB. Despite failing to take his team to the playoffs in his first stint as captain, Gaikwad has learned a lot as he now wants to bat with responsibility and finish the game on his own. He feels he is now more involved in the game than before. Let’s find out what he said- “Nothing much has changed really, batting has remained the same. It is all about playing with responsibility and finishing it on your own, so nothing has changed. It just depends on how you approach the game each time. You have captained an IPL franchise for a long time, so now you are more involved in the game. So, you stay in the game for a longer period of time rather than just hitting boundaries and focusing on one ball.”

The body language of the leader of the team becomes the body language of the team. As a leader you have to set an example. For this, take the example of Rohit Sharma. If you look at Rohit’s leadership and his style of play, even the lower order batsmen of the team become confident and assured because they know that their captain is also playing an aggressive brand of cricket. Shahid further said about the Pakistan cricket team- I don’t know what the PCB chairman has in mind now, and I am also waiting to see what changes will be made, but I have always supported the team and will continue to do so. I am also waiting to see what these changes will be. A positive decision needs to be taken, but the real issue is on our grassroots cricket.

Aiden Markram (Photo Source: Getty Images) The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is to be played today i.e. on 29th June between India and South Africa at Kennington Oval in Barbados. This match is very important for both the teams. Let us tell you, till now both the teams have not lost a single match in this tournament. If we talk about the Indian team, all their players are in very good form at the moment. The only matter of concern for the team at the moment is the form of Virat Kohli, who has failed to bat well in this entire tournament. If we talk about South Africa, the bowlers of the team have left their mark in this tournament. The most important thing is that Aiden Markram’s captaincy has been excellent in this entire tournament and his decisions have also been very good. Another special thing about Aiden Markram is that he has not lost a single ICC World Cup match as captain. He captained South Africa in the U19 World Cup 2014 and the team won all 6 matches. After this, Aiden Markram was the stand-in captain in two matches in the ODI World Cup 2023 and South Africa won both these matches. In the T20 World Cup 2024 as well, South Africa has not lost a single match yet and under the captaincy of Aiden Markram, the team has won all eight matches. Aiden Markram’s captaincy record has been 16-0 so far. However, the Indian team would like to completely destroy this record of Aiden Markram in the upcoming final. The important final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will be played in Barbados The bowlers of the Indian team have bowled very well in this entire tournament so far. Kuldeep Yadav has taken 10 wickets in four matches while Akshar Patel has also left his mark in this tournament. Jaspreet Bumrah has put pressure on the players of the opposing team by bowling lethally continuously. Anrich Norkhia has also bowled very lethally from South Africa’s side and has taken wickets for his team at regular intervals. While South Africa defeated Afghanistan by 9 wickets in the semi-finals to secure its place in the final, India defeated England in the semi-finals. Now both the teams would definitely want to win the upcoming final. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
