The firebrand Gautam Gambhir announced his arrival as India’s Head Coach by successfully ensuring the ascension of Suryakumar Yadav as new T20 Captain in place of Hardik Pandya, who seemed primed for the leadership role after Rohit Sharma’s international retirement from the format.
India’s six-match White-Ball series against Sri Lanka isn’t exactly a run-of-the-mill bilateral engagement for Gautam Gambhir, whose mind seems to have aligned with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar on the issue of captaincy.
Both men decided unanimously to make Suryakumar the skipper keeping in mind the next T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka in 2026.
