Gautam Gambhir is such a face of the Indian cricket team which once used to be the strength of the team. This former cricketer has given a strange statement while participating in an event.
At present, there is a lot of discussion going on about the captaincy of Team India. Cricket experts are expressing their opinion about the captains of all three formats of cricket.
Former veterans believe that taking the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and making Hardik Pandya the captain in the T20 format is not right. But everyone is surprised by what Gautam Gambhir has said.
According to Gambhir, Prithvi Shaw can be a better captain
Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir believes that Prithvi Shaw can emerge as a successful captain of the Indian team. This statement of former cricketer Gautam Gambhir is quite surprising.
We are saying this because at present, Prithvi Shaw, who has made a mark with his bat in domestic cricket, is walking out of Team India. He did not get a place in the team even for the current New Zealand series.
Prithvi Shaw played the last ODI against Sri Lanka in July 2021, since then he has been away from Team India for almost 16 months.
Gautam Gambhir said in response to a question, “Taking forward his point, Gautam Gambhir said that Prithvi Shaw can become a good captain because he is an aggressive batsman. He can become a successful and forward-looking captain in the future.
Gambhir wants to see these two players as future captains
Let us tell you that along with making Prithvi Shaw the captain, Gautam Gambhir kept Hardik Pandya at number two as the captain. He clearly believes that Hardik Pandya can also prove to be a successful captain in the future. Hardik Pandya named only these two players as the captain of the Indian team.
Significantly, as the captain of the Indian T20 team, the name of Hardik Pandya is running at the forefront. He recently led Team India in the series of three T20 matches played against New Zealand. In which Team India defeated the host team by 1-0.
Even before this, Hardik Pandya had led the team in two T20 matches against Ireland in the T20 format, in which the Indian team won 2-0. In such a situation, there is no doubt that Hardik Pandya's name is leading the way as the captain.
