There has been a lot of chatter surrounding the appointment of Indian cricket team's next T20I skipper after Rohit Sharma retired from the format following the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.
While the expectation was that vice-captain Hardik Pandya will succeed Rohit, Suryakumar Yadav has emerged as a strong contender in the past couple of days.
Media reports claimed that Hardik's fitness issues have become a hindrance in the eyes of the team management and Suryakumar can be picked as the one to lead the side in the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka.
However, following the reports, 'We want captain Hardik' started trending on X (formerly Twitter) with many fans expressing their support for the all-rounder.
