Team India has won the T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and became the third Indian captain to win an ICC event as captain. Just after winning this tournament, captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from this short format of cricket and after a few days Ravindra Jadeja also said goodbye to this format.
Now only young players are given opportunities in the T20 team by the management of Team India. It is being said that preparations for the T20 World Cup 2026 are already being made by the BCCI management.
Suryakumar Yadav can be the captain in T20 World Cup
After the retirement of Rohit Sharma, the command of Team India has been handed over to experienced player Suryakumar Yadav by the BCCI management. Suryakumar Yadav has done a great job as a captain for some time now and that is why he will be given the command by the management in the T20 World Cup 2026. Along with this, it is also becoming increasingly viral on social media that Sanju Samson can be selected by the Indian selectors as the vice-captain. Sanju captains the Kerala team at the domestic level and along with this, he is seen captaining Rajasthan in the IPL.

According to reports, Suryakumar Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh can be given a chance as batsmen. At the same time, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan can be given a chance as wicketkeeper-batsmen.
