Hardik Pandya

Indian team’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya can become the new Indian white ball captain. According to news agency ANI, Hardik has been talked about this decision and he has asked for a few days time to reply. At present, no decision has been taken in this regard, but it is certain that Hardik will get the captaincy before the Sri Lanka series.

Hardik Pandya has already captained the Indian team in Rohit’s absence. Recently, he captained the Indian team in the T20 series against New Zealand and before that Team India has also won the T20 series against Ireland under his captaincy. Pandya has also proved his caliber as a skipper after he won the IPL 2022 trophy in his captaincy debut year.

Hardik Pandya as a skipper

Hardik Pandya captained Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2022, scoring 487 runs in 15 matches at an average of 44.27. This included four fifties and he also took eight wickets in this tournament. Subsequently, in the month of June, he was made the vice-captain of the Indian team and the Rishabh Pant-led side finished the series against South Africa with a 2-2 draw.

Hardik was elected captain of India for the first time in the two T20 match series against Ireland and Team India won the series 2-0. Hardik was also the vice-captain of India in the T20 series against West Indies and India won the series 4-1. Pandya led the Indian team in the T20I series against New Zealand, with Rishabh Pant as his vice-captain. India won the series 1–0. He also played an important role in some matches of the T20 World Cup 2022.

A thing to note her is that Rohit Sharma did won maximum T20 series as a skipper but his regular absence from the team is a point of discussion. Also after Virat Kohli stepped down from Indian captaincy in all formats, there have been eight skipper is different series. Seems like BCCI now wants to appoint a young captain and give Indian team the stability that they need in terms of captaincy. Moreover, after this change Rohit Sharma will only be the Test captain and Hardik will look over the T20s and ODIs. With this decision India will finally have split captaincy after so long.
