The new chapter opens in Indian Cricket as BCCI announced Suryakumar Yadav a new T20I captain. This decision has been made at a time when Rohit Sharma has taken retirement from the shortest format of the game while captaining the Indian team to the T20 World Cup title. This is a brave call in an ownership change for the white ball cricket in India that signals the new phase for the shortest form of the game.
Regarded as a hard-hitting batsman and some of the unique shots the world has seen Yadav has been a reliable name in the T20 international batsman for India. This has made him a favorite among his fans and bowlers’ nightmares due to his tactics in matters concerning match situations taken in a game. Since Yadav was required to captain the team during the normal captains’ absence, he has acquired loads of experience in captaining and therefore has proved to be a good captain.
Shubman Gill has been promoted to the vice-captain for the T20I. He also assists in developing the leadership aspect of the India team. The professional career for this young man has been most exceptional, and it is very laudable that the young opener has risen to the rank of a vice-captain of the team majorly because of his performance and character.
The series against Sri Lanka will be a useful rehearsal for Yadav as he changes from a showman batsman to a captain. The series will offer a chance to other players to press for selection on the T20I side regularly. In the next couple of months, there are few T20 series scheduled, and therefore the Indian team management would be keenly observing the team’s performance under Yadav’s leadership.
The organization’s decision to appoint Yadav as captain is another good long-term strategy of the BCCI in the development of the Indian cricket team. He has the qualities of a leader with his positive attitude complemented by his talent in the game, thus being instrumental in motivating the team. Of course, captaincy responsibilities are enormous, though Yadav’s communication skills and his overall knowledge of cricket can be considered advantageous for him.
With the arrival of a new period in Indian cricket by having Suryakumar Yadav as the new skipper, cricket lovers worldwide follow carefully. The Sri Lanka series will be the first pointer to the kind of team they are going to build under the new leadership.
