Virat
kohli and Rohit Sharma's retirements marked the end of an era of great
indian t20 cricket. Rohit has already withdrawn from the
t20 format after leading the team admirably in each of the game's three phases.
hardik pandya is the incoming captain of the
indian team in this scenario, and things might go anyway. First, there have been rumors of animosity between
hardik and
surya Kumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, two of his IPL colleagues. This was extensively disseminated across the IPL.
If that is indeed the case, managing the
indian cricket team would be an incredible task for
hardik, who struggles to maintain control over his dressing room during the IPL.
hardik is a terrific player with crucial playmaking skills, but he doesn't
strike me as a strong
leader who can command the locker room.
Every player on the squad respected and revered players like
ms dhoni and Rohit Sharma. They were the best leaders of the
indian cricket team because of this. It's the confident bossman that's lacking in Hardik's situation. Whatever is said or done, if
hardik performs as expected of a full-time captain, then everything works out. If not,
indian cricket may have a disastrous run and a new skipper may need to be found.
