"Gautam Gambhir's Ideas Are...": Ashish Nehra's Blunt Take On Hardik Pandya's Captaincy Snub

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya found the leadership responsibility in the shortest format, which seemed to be his after Rohit Sharma's retirement, taken away from him after Gautam Gambhir was hired as the team's new head coach. Gambhir, in consultation with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar, handed the captaincy responsibility to Suryakumar Yadav in T20Is, while Shubman Gill was made his deputy. Reflecting on the decision, Ashish Nehra, the man who coached Hardik during his role as captain at Gujarat Titans, isn't surprised to see this move by the Indian team management.

On Mohammed Shami's Return, Ajit Agarkar Gives Big Update

"Indian Women Team's Mantra Has Been To Take One Game At A Time": Deepti Sharma

Senior player Deepti Sharma said India's mantra in the Women's T20 Asia Cup has been to take one game at a time as conditions haven't really changed from the last time the team played here. India marched into the semifinals with a thumping 82-run win over Nepal on Tuesday after fireworks with the bat from Shafali Verma (81 off 48 balls) and Deepti's impressive 3/13 with the ball. India amassed 178 for 3 after batting first and then restricted Nepal to a paltry 98 for 9 in their 20 overs.

"Parchi": Ex-Pakistan Star's Explosive Allegation On Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir was appointed Indian cricket team head coach after Rahul Dravid's tenure ended following the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. It was a fresh chapter for the team as the trio of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma also announced their retirement from T20Is. While the names of WV Raman and National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman did make the rounds, Gambhir ultimately emerged as the top contender. While the move was welcomed by the majority of experts and fans, former Pakistan cricketer Tanveer Ahmed believes that Gambhir did not deserve the role.

"Rahul Dravid Screamed And Cried": R Ashwin Reveals Unheard T20 World Cup Final Story

Indian spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that he really felt the moment when former Indian head coach Rahul Dravid hugged the ICC T20 World Cup and cried after leading Men in Blue to their first big trophy in 11 years in his final assignment as a coach. Dravid's stint with India as head coach ended as he lifted the T20 World Cup after beating South Africa in the final by seven runs on June 29. The legendary cricketer, who could not win a major ICC World Cup trophy as a player and captain, finally got his moment of redemption as his final international assignment with India as a coach turned out to be a massive success. Later in July, former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir was announced as his successor, ready to start his era in the white-ball tour to Sri Lanka from July 27 onwards.

Watch: Hardik Pandya Ends T20I Captaincy Chatter With Big Gesture For Suryakumar Yadav

As India's captaincy in the shortest format remains the biggest talking point, the well-wishers of Indian cricket wonder how the change in leadership could impact the relationship between Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. Though the BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar revealed that Hardik was spoken to before the T20I captaincy was handed over to Suryakumar, concerns still remain over the leadership dynamics in the team. However, Hardik put all such talks to bed with his big gesture as the two left for Sri Lanka, for a white-ball series.
