The Indian team is currently playing the T20 series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya; before that, they won the ODI series by 3-0 against the same opponent under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, the Indian team will continue to play under different leaders, like skippers, in a different format.
Star cricketer Dinesh Karthik stated that BCCI might opt for a different format and a different captain after the upcoming ODI World Cup. Dinesh Karthik added that we should also keep in mind that till the ODI World Cup, the Indian team has to play most T20I matches. After the IPL, there is the West Indies series, after which things will become clear whether we are moving towards different formats and captaincy.
Dinesh Karthik said that if Rohit Sharma’s team cannot do anything special, we can move toward this. If Rohit does something amazing in the ODI World Cup, then the 2024 T20 World Cup can also be played under his captaincy.
Regarding the defeat in the first T20I against New Zealand, Dinesh Karthik praised the Indian skipper and stated Hardik Pandya had captained the Indian team well. Apart from this match, Team India won the remaining matches. After Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya is one such player whom you want to see doing better in the big game.
Meanwhile, in the T20 World Cup 2022, players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have yet to appear in the T20 format. In such a situation, the question has started to arise whether seniors will not come in T20 format now, and under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, the team is moving towards the next T20 World Cup.
