3 players who can lead India in T20Is if Hardik Pandya gets sacked as captain

As the debate over India’s T20I captaincy intensifies, the spotlight has shifted from Hardik Pandya, who has been a prominent figure in the leadership role, to potential new captains. This discussion gained momentum after it emerged that newly appointed India head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar reportedly prefer Suryakumar Yadav over Hardik. 

With Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is and Hardik’s position under scrutiny, three players have emerged as frontrunners to take up the mantle. These players have different skills and abilities to make them potential candidates. Here’s a closer look at these potential leaders:

3. Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill

Young batter Shubman Gill has been a rising star for India over the last year and a half. His performance across formats has made him a key player for the national team. Gill recently showcased his leadership potential by leading India to a 4-1 victory in a five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. 

Moreover, his experience as the captain of the Gujarat Titans in the IPL adds to his credentials. At just 24 years old, Gill’s youthful exuberance and cricketing acumen make him a strong contender for the captaincy.

2. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah

Star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s inclusion in the leadership discussion is primarily due to his vast experience and consistent performances. As one of the most senior members of the squad, Bumrah has been part of the leadership group and commands respect within the team. 

His strategic understanding of the game and calm demeanor on the field are valuable assets. However, his role as a fast bowler, which often requires managing workload and injury risks, could be a limiting factor. Despite this, Bumrah’s leadership skills and experience cannot be overlooked.

1. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav

Star India batter Suryakumar Yadav has emerged as the frontrunner in the captaincy debate. His aggressive batting style and ability to perform under pressure have earned him accolades. Surya was appointed India’s T20I skipper last year in Hardik Pandya’s absence.

He then demonstrated his leadership capabilities by winning five out of eight matches, with one no result. His success in this role, coupled with his tactical nous, positions him as a strong candidate for the permanent captaincy.

As the BCCI deliberates on the future of India’s T20I captaincy, these three players present compelling cases. Shubman Gill’s youthful dynamism, Jasprit Bumrah’s experience, and Suryakumar Yadav’s proven leadership make them worthy contenders to lead the team. The final decision will significantly impact the direction of Indian cricket in the shortest format.
