The Indian squad has been led by Rahul, while Rohit has been missing in Bangladesh due to an injury to his thumb.
Digital Desk: All-rounder Hardik Pandya of Team India is set for a significant rise as he will soon replace Rohit Sharma as white-ball skipper. Even after India's elimination from the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinals, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been considering the problem.
Pandya, who is healthy once more and playing at full strength, helped Gujarat Titans (GT) win the inaugural IPL championship in their first season in the lucrative tournament, cementing his name in the minds of BCCI high brass.
According to a report in India Today, which IANS cited, BCCI officials have discussed the plan going forward with Pandya. Pandya has asked for some time to respond. The all-rounder would succeed Rohit as India's ODI and T20 skipper if he gives the go-ahead.
"After consulting with the newly constituted senior selection committee, a final decision will only be made. This strategy has been discussed with him by the BCCI. The all-arounder has been requesting a response for a few days. Let's find out his opinion. Although no decision has been made in this regard, the BCCI executives are considering giving him the white-ball cricket captaincy. Let's monitor how things develop "it read.
Former selection committee chairman Chetan Sharma had stated that Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant were being prepared to take over as captains as Rohit approached the end of his playing career.
The Indian squad has been led by Rahul, while Rohit has been missing in Bangladesh due to an injury to his thumb.
A year after Virat Kohli's team's Super 12 round exit, Rohit Sharma captained India at the T20 World Cup. India made it past the Super 12 stage in Australia, but in the semi-final, they were thoroughly outplayed by England.
