Since the announcement of the Indian team on the Sri Lanka tour, the most talked about topic is Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. While Hardik has been demoted from the leadership role, Suryakumar has been made the new captain of the Indian T20 team. Hardik was the vice-captain of Team India before the tour against Sri Lanka. He was also the vice-captain of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024. Apart from this, he has also been in the leadership role in the ODI World Cup 2023. However, he is in the T20 team for the Sri Lanka tour but he has not been given the responsibility of vice-captain. Meanwhile, several reports have claimed that Suryakumar Yadav can be seen as a long-term prospect for captaincy in the shortest format. However, this was unexpected for Hardik Pandya.
