New Delhi:
Recently, despite Team India’s defeat in the final against Australia in the World Cup 2023, former opener Gautam Gambhir does not want Hardik Pandya to play in the T20 World Cup 2024 to be played in West Indies and America next year. Don’t be the captain of the team. The Indian T20 team was captained by Hardik (Hardik Pandya) for some time, but despite not winning the title in ODI recently, Gautam says that it would be better if Rohit Sharma is the captain in the T20 World Cup also. Captain the team.
Gambhir said that it is true that Hardik Pandya has been captaining the T20 team for more than a year, but despite this, Rohit should captain the Indian team in the T20 World Cup. At the same time, he also said that both Rohit and Virat should be selected in the T20 World Cup team.
While talking to a website, Gautam said that both are needed in the T20 team. And I would like to see Rohit captaining in the T20 World Cup. It is true that Hardik is the captain of T20, but despite this Rohit should be the captain of the team. Gambhir said that in the World Cup, Rohit has shown with his batting how he impacts the game. If Rohit is selected, then Virat will also naturally be selected in the team. And if Rohit decides to play in the T20 World Cup, then he should be selected not as a player but as a captain.
However, in the absence of Hardik, recently BCCI has chosen Suryakumar Yadav as the captain against Australia. This series of five matches is starting from today. And in a way, this series can be considered as the beginning of the preparation for the T20 World Cup to be held next year. Hardik is injured and Rohit is on rest, so Suryakumar was given the command of the team. Although a section was considering Rituraj Gaikwad as the captain, but the selectors bet on Surya.
