Gautam Gambhir: Gautam Gambhir's name is at the top for the head coach of Team India. BCCI will officially confirm Gambhir's name in the coming days. After Gambhir becomes the coach, the biggest challenge will be to choose the next captain. Currently Rohit Sharma is captaining India.

Under his captaincy, Team India is playing in the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup. It is believed that this tournament is his last tournament. In such a situation, who will take this responsibility in his place in the next season. Let us tell you

Gautam Gambhir will take a big decision

• The next edition of the T20 World Cup will be played in India in 2026.
  Who will represent Team India in this tournament?
• Because Rohit Sharma may leave the shortest format of cricket after this ICC tournament
• But who will be the captain in T20 World Cup 2026 is a big topic of discussion.
• This question will arise before Gautam Gambhir as soon as he becomes the coach.
• There is every possibility that Hardik Pandya can represent Team India in the 2026 ICC tournament.

Hardik Pandya can handle captaincy

• Therefore, as soon as Gautam Gambhir becomes the coach, there is a strong possibility of Hardik Pandya taking over the captaincy in the T20 format.
• Because he has captained Team India before.
  Last year, he took charge of India in Rohit's absence.
• Apart from this, BCCI is also looking at him as the future captain.
• Apart from this, he is also in the role of vice-captain in Team India. In such a situation, the possibility of him becoming the captain is very high.

India's winning percentage under Hardik Pandya's captaincy

• Hardik Pandya made his captaincy debut against Ireland in June 2022 during the two-match T20I series in Ireland.
• Under his captaincy, the Indian cricket team won the first T20 match by seven wickets and registered a thrilling four-run win in the second game to clinch the series 2-0.
• Since then, Pandya has led India in 16 T20Is and three ODIs.
  He is yet to captain India in Test cricket.
• Under Pandya's captaincy, the Indian cricket team has won 10 out of 16 T20 matches, while losing five and drawing one. In ODI cricket, the Men in Blue have won two out of three matches under Pandya's leadership.
