Why was Hardik Pandya dropped, will he not be able to become the captain of Team India? A bigger reason than this came to light

Recently, when BCCI announced the T20 team for Team India's Sri Lanka tour, there was an uproar because Suryakumar Yadav was made the T20 captain of Team India and not Hardik Pandya. Apart from this, Shubhman Gill has been made the vice-captain of both T20 and ODI teams. That is, Hardik Pandya has not been made the captain or vice-captain. Rohit Sharma will be the captain of the ODI team while Suryakumar Yadav has been made the captain of the T20 team. The issue of Hardik Pandya's captaincy has come up in a conversation with India's left-arm fast bowler Pradeep Sangwan.

Why was the card cut?
Pradeep Sangwan has closely seen Hardik Pandya captaining Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. Pradeep Sangwan said that Hardik Pandya is a good captain. However, Hardik Pandya has been suffering from back problems for some time now. Therefore, somewhere the selection committee must have taken this decision keeping in mind his fitness.

Fitness matters too
Pradeep Sangwan said that apart from fitness, Hardik Pandya is a good and smart captain. He also led Gujarat Titans to victory in the IPL and reached the finals in the second season. But fitness matters and hence the selection committee also looks at this criterion.
