A big revelation has been made about Hardik Pandya's captaincy on the Sri Lanka tour. With Gautam Gambhir becoming the head coach, many changes have been made in the team. Suryakumar Yadav has been made the captain of the T20 team for the Sri Lanka tour, while Shubman Gill has been given the vice-captaincy in both formats. After the announcement of the team, the most discussion is about Hardik Pandya, whose not being made the captain was a shocking decision.

Hardik Pandya was made the vice-captain in the T20 World Cup 2024. He scored 144 runs in batting and also took 11 wickets in bowling in the entire tournament. If Hardik did not do anything wrong, then what was the reason due to which he had to lose the captaincy of Team India?

Gambhir's role in Hardik not becoming the captain?

A BCCI source has said that Gautam Gambhir has not directly nominated Suryakumar Yadav for captaincy. But Gambhir made it clear that he needs a captain whose workload does not hinder the success of the Indian team. Ajit Agarkar also understood the new head coach's approach correctly.

Hardik will not play the ODI series

Hardik Pandya will play in the series against Sri Lanka starting from July 27. But he withdrew his name from the ODI series due to personal reasons. Although there were fears of him getting injured again after the break, but after the confirmation of his divorce from Natasha Stankovic, it is clear that Hardik wants to be completely fit mentally before his comeback.
