Gautam Gambhir chosen captain of Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya got a big shock
Former Indian team opener Gautam Gambhir has expressed his choice for the captain of the Indian team for next year’s T20 World Cup. Gautam Gambhir said that Rohit Sharma should remain the captain of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup next year.
While talking to Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir pointed out that even though Hardik Pandya has been leading the Indian T20 team since last year, Rohit Sharma should captain the T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted by West Indies and America. Gambhir also said that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should be selected in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024.
What did Gautam Gambhir say?
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should be selected. I want Rohit Sharma to be seen captaining the Indian team in the T20 World Cup. Yes, Hardik Pandya captained the T20 International matches, but I still want Rohit Sharma to captain the T20 World Cup.
In the ODI World Cup, Rohit Sharma showed what he can do with batting. If Rohit Sharma is selected then Virat Kohli will be selected automatically. If Rohit Sharma decides to play T20 World Cup then he should be selected as captain and not just as a batsman.
India took lead over Australia
The news of Rohit Sharma taking a decision on his white ball future is in full swing and meanwhile, Gambhir’s statement will definitely give strength to the Indian captain. It will be interesting to see whether Rohit Sharma will participate in the upcoming World Cup or not. However, the Indian team is currently busy in the five-match T20 International series against Australia.
Suryakumar Yadav is commanding the Indian team, under whose leadership the host team registered a record win in the first T20 International match. India has a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20 International series. The second match of the series will be played in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.
