DTVHINDIAjit 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.

Ravindra Jadeja’s name is not in the team selected for the three-match ODI series, seeing which the fans were a bit surprised. Since then, there has been a constant debate about why Jadeja has not been selected in the team. He has been an important part of India’s ODI team for more than 10 years. Now some important reports are coming out about Ravindra Jadeja. The new management under the captaincy of head coach Gautam Gambhir is looking for a future replacement for the spin all-rounder keeping in mind the upcoming Champions Trophy.

“Including Riyan Parag, leaving out Abhishek and Gaikwad is a different story….”- Statement by former cricketer
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra shared his thoughts on the recent team selection for India’s upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka.

Team India is scheduled to play three T20Is and three ODIs against Sri Lanka in Pallekele from July 27. Meanwhile, in a video posted on his YouTube channel, Chopra elaborated on the T20I squad announced for the series.

Aakash Chopra talked about the squad selected for the Sri Lanka tour In the video, Aakash Chopra said, “Shubman Gill is the vice-captain, and this is a big story. Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of the Indian team in the World Cup. He also performed very well. India also won the World Cup, but after that his name is not there as the vice-captain.” The former Indian then further said, “Riyan Parag’s name is in both the teams, in ODIs as well as T20Is. His name is there despite the Zimbabwe tour not being that good. Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s name is not there. I am talking about T20Is. Both of their names are not there, but Riyan Parag’s is there. This in itself tells a different story.” Parag could only score 24 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 88.88 during the T20 series against Zimbabwe. In contrast, Abhishek Sharma scored 124 runs in four innings including a century at a strike rate of 174.64, while Gaikwad scored 133 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 158.33.

Three ODIs and three T20 series will be played between the two teams on this tour. The selectors took a lot of time to announce this series. It is believed that there was a lot of debate between Gautam Gambhir, who recently became the head coach of Team India, and the selectors and only then the team was announced for this tour. This selection meeting of Team India lasted for several hours over two days. If reports are to be believed, there were differences of opinion as well as heated debates in the meeting. During the meeting itself, many players were called and discussions were held with them about long term planning. It is being said that, Surya being selected as the vice-captain before Hardik in captaincy and Gill being selected as the vice-captain before Rahul in ODIs is a very important step taken for the future of Indian cricket. The Indian Express report claims that this selection meeting was different from all other meetings as it was full of heated debates and disagreements. Phone calls were made to the players and the long term planning of the team management was explained to them. Players showed more trust in Suryakumar Yadav than Hardik Pandya According to the Indian Express report, there was also a view in the team selection meeting that not making the current vice-captain of the T20 team, i.e. Hardik Pandya, the captain would be unfair to him. Especially when he has performed amazingly during the World Cup. An Indian Express report claims that due to the trust of the players, the scales tilted in favor of Suryakumar Yadav. The report states that the ‘feedback’ received by the BCCI was that the players ‘trusted Yadav more than Pandya’ and were comfortable working under him. Surya’s man management is said to have impressed the selectors. When Ishan Kishan was about to leave the Indian camp midway through the South Africa tour last year, Yadav tried to convince him to stay back.
