This is also the first time for Gautam Gambhir who will join the Indian squad as a new coach after Rahul Dravid’s tenure has reached its end. One more major question has been circling among cricket fans about the T20I captaincy of Team India.
Amid the retirement of Rohit Sharma from the T20I cricket format, the race for Team India’s captain has begun already. Currently, Shubman Gill has been leading the second string of the Indian squad in the 3 T20I series of Zimbabwe. However, it is speculated that T20 World Cup Champion Hardik Pandya would be the successor of Rohit Sharma.
