According to some Indian cricket fans, Pandya is even more prone to injury than Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, so the Indian cricket board and selectors should look for backups for him right away.
In all future white-ball matches, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya will replace KL Rahul as Rohit Sharma’s vice captain. Pandya led Team India to a dramatic victory over Sri Lanka in the second Twenty20 International on Tuesday.
Gambhir has expressed his concerns regarding Pandya’s appointment as India’s permanent captain in white-ball cricket after Rohit Sharma left the team. All-rounder Pandya drove Group India, playing without Rohit without precedent for 2023, to an exhilarating triumph over Sri Lanka on Tuesday.
The Asian giants’ vice-captain in limited-overs cricket has already been Pandya. In 2022, he joined the coaching staff of the team coached by Rahul Dravid. Pandya has replaced opener KL Rahul in the designated leadership position in the limited-overs format.
The white-ball master will continue to be Rohit’s deputy in command prior to the ICC World Cup 2023.
