'Shreyas The Frontrunner To Succeed Suryakumar As T20I Captain', Feels Ex-selector Gandhi
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India cricketer and national selector Devang Gandhi believes Shreyas Iyer is a frontrunner to succeed Suryakumar Yadav as the next men’s T20I captain, saying his IPL-winning pedigree with Kolkata Knight Riders and his more recent success in leading Punjab Kings makes him the most deserving candidate at the moment.
The biggest call before the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee when they meet in Mumbai on Saturday to select India’s squad for the T20Is against Ireland and England is whether to persist with Suryakumar Yadav as India’s T20I captain.
Suryakumar, who was made India’s T20I captain after Rohit Sharma retired post the 2024 T20 World Cup win, scripted history by leading India to a successful defence of the title at home this year.
