Hardik Pandya Future Team India: The release of Team India’s squad for the Sri Lanka tour has also raised a controversy. People are divided into two groups regarding the captaincy of the team. The captaincy of the T20 team has been handed over to Suryakumar Yadav. But the question has arisen whether Hardik Pandya is in the race to become the leader or not? Despite the excellent performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik has been ignored from the captaincy. In such a situation, questions are also being raised on Pandya’s captaincy in Mumbai Indians in the IPL.
Hardik’s path is difficult in IPL
Hardik Pandya returned to Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. He was made the captain of MI after Rohit Sharma was removed. But now a complicated problem has arisen that Team India’s new T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav also plays for Mumbai Indians. Since the mega auction of IPL 2025 is approaching, MI may have to make a big offer to Surya as well. The MI franchise may have to spend a huge amount to retain Suryakumar Yadav.
Will Hardik lose the captaincy?
However, BCCI has not yet clarified how many players a team can retain. According to the report, a team can retain 4 players, out of which 3 will be Indian and one will be a foreign player. If the situation remains the same till the end, then Mumbai Indians will also have the option of retaining Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. When Hardik was given the captaincy in IPL 2024, news of the deteriorating environment of MI’s team management had come to the fore.
Is your place in the Indian team confirmed?
Hardik Pandya has not been given the captaincy, so it is natural for questions to be raised about his place in Team India. What will happen if Pandya does not perform well in the series against Sri Lanka? After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, there have been ups and downs in the Indian team. The Champions Trophy is to be held next year and Hardik’s not participating in the ODI series against Sri Lanka is also raising concerns about his future.
