IPL title-winning skipper Hardik Pandya a strong contender for Indian captaincy in near future, reckons spin great Harbhajan Singh. The 28-year-old all-rounder is being tipped as a future India captain after leading unfancied Gujarat Titans to victory in their maiden season in the world's most lucrative T20 league. "One of the biggest revelations in this year's IPL was the advent of Hardik Pandya as the skipper of the Gujarat Titans and the way he led the team from the front to win the coveted title is definitely praiseworthy. His intent and positive captaincy are signs that he can lead Team India in the future," Harbhajan told PTI in an interview.
HS Prannoy says he will have no regrets even if it doesn't come his way since he has a Thomas Cup gold in his trophy cabinet now. The giant-killer's tag has stayed for far too long for Prannoy, who scripted some of the most headline-grabbing victories over top stars such as Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan, Chen Long and Viktor Axelsen. However, he could not weave the big wins together in a week's time and even though he rose to a career-best ranking of world number 8 in 2018, the Indian's last individual title win came way back in 2017, at the US Open Grand Prix Gold.
Dinesh Karthik is set to return to the Indian team for the first time since 2019 when they take on South Africa in the first of five T20 Internationals later on Thursday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

Former India batter Wasim Jaffer, who has developed a reputation for his witty social media posts, took to Twitter to share a clip from the 1995 film 'Karan Arjun' in his hilarious take on Karthik's national team comeback.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam continued his excellent run of form in international cricket as he slammed a century in the first ODI against West Indies in Multan on Wednesday.

While Kohli took 17 innings to touch the 1,000 runs milestone, Babar achieved the same feat in just 13 innings.
