According to sources, there was a lot of discussion and disagreement regarding the selection of the team. Team India's tour of Sri Lanka will start from July 27 and both the countries will play 3 T20 and 3 ODI matches till August 7.

A call made during a meeting

According to reports, the meeting lasted for several hours over two days and amid heated discussions and disagreements, several players were called during the meeting itself. Long-term plans regarding the future of the team were shared with these players. This meeting was quite different from other meetings, after which it is almost certain that the team management is currently eyeing leaders like Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill in the T20 format.

Why did Hardik not get the captaincy?

Hardik Pandya's injury record was a cause of concern for the selection committee. It is being said that due to Hardik's continuous injuries, the captaincy has come in Suryakumar Yadav's court. Hardik suffered an ankle injury during the World Cup 2023, after which he made a comeback in IPL 2024. Apart from this, Hardik withdrew his name from the ODI series due to personal reasons.

Surya is a good friend of the players

The discussion of Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy started when he led Team India in the T20 series played in South Africa. Surya spoke to the players with an open mind and asked them to be ready to take advantage of every opportunity. Many people have started associating his captaincy style with Rohit Sharma. The best thing is that the players also do not hesitate to speak their mind in front of Surya. His friendly behavior and good rapport with other players has got him the captaincy as compared to Hardik.
