The biggest contenders for captaincy in the World Cup
Who will be the captain of the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has not been confirmed yet. India has three contenders for captain. First is Rohit Sharma, second is Hardik Pandya and third is Suryakumar Yadav. Surya’s chances of captaining in the World Cup were very less, but after defeating Australia, Surya has also become a contender for this post. At present, the biggest contender is Indian team captain Rohit Sharma. BCCI itself said that it is trying to convince Rohit Sharma to captain him in the T20 World Cup.
That winning feeling 👏

Will be decided by the next two series
If Rohit Sharma agrees to be the captain, then Rohit will be the captain of India, but if he does not agree, then one of Hardik and Surya will be made the captain. After Australia, now Surya will be seen captaining in the T20 series against South Africa also. Apart from this, Surya will also be the captain in the series against Afghanistan, in such a situation, if India wins the next two series under Surya’s captaincy, then the chances of Surya getting the captaincy will increase significantly. This will greatly reduce Hardik’s chances of becoming captain.
