Rohit Sharma Snubbed As Hardik Pandya Names His Captaincy Replacement For CSK Clash

Suryakumar Yadav will captain Mumbai Indians in their opening IPL match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday as regular skipper Hardik Pandya will be forced to sit out due to a one-match suspension for over-rate offences committed by the team last season. Suryakumar is the national T20 captain and recently led the side to a 4-1 triumph over England at home. However, his batting form wasn't particularly impressive and he managed just 38 runs in the five outings during the series.

"My Only Worry...": Sourav Ganguly Does Not Hold Back, Reveals Major Weakness Of India In Tests

Despite India's Champions Trophy 2025 title win, legendary former India captain Sourav Ganguly has voiced a big concern with the team. Ganguly stated that India still have a few flaws in Test cricket, particularly when it comes to batting, saying that players like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant need to step up and make big scores in red ball cricket. He emphasized the need for the rising crop of Indian Test stars to contribute more with the bat away from home. Ganguly also stated that he does not see Virat Kohli failing in all five Tests against England.

"Perception Was Created...": Shreyas Iyer On Attempt To Question His Game, Place In Team

He fought perceptions about a so-called technical shortcoming, was "typecast", and had his contract torn up within months of being a World Cup hero but Shreyas Iyer was indefatigable through it all, trusting his sincerity and uncomplicated mind to steer him through. The result of the perseverance has been pleasing, to put it mildly. The 30-year-old has built himself into one of India's most consistent number four batters in recent times and was declared a "silent hero" by his captain Rohit Sharma after the team's Champions Trophy triumph a few days ago.

'If He Is Hearing Me...": Sourav Ganguly Sends Big 'Responsibility' Message To Rohit Sharma

Former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly urged Rohit Sharma to take more responsibility - both as skipper as well as batter - in the upcoming Test series against England. Rohit had a disastrous outing the series against Australia but the Champions Trophy 2025 triumph has more or less guaranteed his position as India captain. Ganguly praised Rohit's skills in white-ball cricket but quickly pointed out that India have not been that great in Test cricket off late. In a recent interaction, Ganguly sent a massive message to Rohit and asked him to turn things around for the side.

Rohit Sharma Loses Cool At Paparazzi Trying To Click Daughter Samaira's Picture - Video

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was left fuming after the paparazzi and fans tried to click pictures of his daughter Samaira at a parking lot. In a video shared on social media platform Instagram, Rohit was seen walking towards his car along with his daughter. However, a group started to take some pictures and Rohit quickly pulled Samaira behind him to shield her from the cameras. The India captain was visibly upset with the people and helped Samaira get into the car. When things settled down, he calmed down and even posed for some pictures. Rohit will be part of the Mumbai Indians side as they start their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.

'They Can Decide When To Stop Playing': Ajaz Patel On 'Greats' Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's ODI Future

New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel feels that India batting icons Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have the right to take a call on their ODI future amid speculations around their retirements from the format following Champions Trophy win. Kohli was in sublime touch during India's title-winning campaign in Dubai last week as India defeated New Zealand in the final to claim their third tournament title. The 36-year-old amassed 218 runs from five matches at an average of 54.50. He scored a match-winning unbeaten century against arch-rivals Pakistan before scoring a crucial 84 against Australia in the semi-final.

"Consensus Not Reached On Rohit Sharma": Report Makes Massive Captaincy Revelation

The Champions Trophy triumph has added to the aura of Rohit Sharma and it won't be a surprise if he travels to England as the leader of the pack even though the selectors are yet to make a decision on the Test tour starting June 20. It is understood that a consensus has not been reached on Rohit as an automatic choice for captaincy. Jasprit Bumrah's fitness status is an issue and so does the lack of a distinct leadership prospect in the next line of young Indian players. Rohit was under pressure to perform in Dubai, as a 1-3 series defeat in Australia accentuated his own poor form. But the triumphant run in the UAE has certainly given the skipper breathing space and elbow room.
