IND vs IRE: When Rohit Sharma wasn’t playing, Hardik Pandya led the Indian team well as captain in T20s. In international cricket, the player hasn’t lost a match yet. He was supposed to lead the Men in Blue in the three T20I matches against Ireland after the tour of the West Indies, but sources say that the selectors may give him a break before the ODI World Cup.
Over the years, the all-rounder has had trouble with his back. So, the think tank doesn’t want him to take any risks right now because the team can’t afford for him to get hurt. The Times of India says that Suryakumar Yadav, who has been Hardik’s assistant, could lead the team in the T20I series against Ireland.
Suryakumar Yadav has experience as a leader
In the 16th season of the Indian Premier League, Suryakumar Yadav recently led Mumbai Indians in a few games. He has been the captain of his team in List A cricket before, so he has a lot of knowledge. In the meantime, he is likely to journey with an inexperienced team because the selectors don’t want to risk any cricketer who is helping to plan for the World Cup in India.
Rinku Singh could have a chance
Rinku Singh, a young batter, can play his first game in the series against Ireland. He will be travelling with the Indian team to the Asian Games, but before that, the cricket player may play a few games in the UK. India wants to send a strong team to the T20 World Cup in 2024, so they will also try a number of other cricketers.
