Suryakumar Yadav’s future as India’s T20 captain is under intense scrutiny, with poor form and low averages causing selectors to consider dropping him. According to senior BCCI source, head coach Gautam Gambhir’s support may prove decisive. Names like Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, and Tilak Varma are being considered as successors, highlighting crossroads of form, planning, and leadership dynamics.
New Delhi, May 23: Suryakumar Yadav's future as India's T20 captain could primarily be decided by head coach Gautam Gambhir as the national selection committee is not entirely convinced that he can make it to the team purely as a batter, according to a senior BCCI source.
Suryakumar, who was given the moniker SKY by Gambhir, has been struggling for form for a year now.
Within the BCCI, it is understood that the selection panel is in favour of moving on from him but the Board hierarchy also recognises that the coach-captain equation is integral to the dressing-room environment.
And Gambhir's stated comfort with Suryakumar will make him a key figure in the final call.
