Once Rohit’s successor is seen, not much in the leadership frame under Hardik Pandya Gautam Gambhir.
Indian selectors do not have to announce the final squad for the upcoming Asia Cup; However, with the early recovery of Suryakumar Yadav on the track at the BCCI Center of Excellence, the goals of Hardik Pandya are once again reduced.
The all -rounder was recently seen in BCCI Coa, where he did a fitness test to fit himself before the Continental Championship. However, since the matter seemed more shocking, since Gambhir took over as Indian head coach, Pandya has not been given the role of vice-captain.
According to a PTI report, Gambhir’s arrival further reduced the opportunities of Hardik Pandya, and the fire -led panels were also uncertain about his strategic nas as an international captain.
Shubman Gill was the vice-captain, while in his absence, Exer Patel took over as the vice-captain in the England series, after which early this year. Pandya, despite his impressive track record, was nowhere in the leadership frame.
Shubman Gill is claiming a strong base in leadership roles for India
Shubman Gill, exactly 2 months after India’s red-ball skipper was appointed, is already growing high on leadership stock. He recently completed his first assignment as India’s full -time captain and has highly praised for his efforts.
Shubman Gill announced the T20I Vice-Captain with Suryakumar Yadav last year, and around this time, rumors have claimed that head coaches Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Aggarkar have returned to the Indian T20I and played the role of leadership.
Former selector Devang Gandhi told The Times of India, “Gill has built an aura similar to Virat in 2017.” “He has also reacted with captaincy as well as Virat. Ajit Agkar has shown great foresight by appointing Gill as a Test captain. There is no reason that Gill should not play the role of leadership in T20. The message should be clear about who takes care after Surya.”
T20I captain ignored by Indian selectors as Hardik Pandya’s success
The 30 -year -old Mumbai Indians all -rounder to swallow the most difficult pill is their recent poor performance under crunch situations in important matches, which matters the most. Pandya, however, has made his career on flexibility and now fight to maintain his location.
However, for India, the irony is that he has no replacement of Pandya Caliber. A finisher who can finish the game with Big Hits, a middle-order batter that can save the innings for you, a bowler who can win the match, and a unique brain on the field that suggests a unique approach to a skipper, Pandya has all this.
