'Hardik Will Be Deeply Hurt': Bangar On SKY's Appointment As India's T20I Captain
T20 World Cup: Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar feels that Hardik Pandya will be "deeply hurt" after being overlooked for India's T20I captain role ahead of the Sri Lanka tour.
Earlier this week, BCCI appointed Suryakumar Yadav as India's new T20I captain while Shubman Gill, who captained the side in five-match T20Is against Zimbabwe, has been appointed as white-ball vice-captain, starting with the three-match T20I and three-game ODI series against Sri Lanka.
The change in leadership role was unexpected as Pandya was the defacto captain of the T20I side in Rohit Sharma's absence after the 2022 T20 World Cup. As Rohit, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja announced their T20I retirements after the T20 World Cup triumph in Barbados, it was expected that the all-rounder would regain the leadership role in the shortest format.
