Team India gets a new captain before the T20 World Cup 2026, the new captain will be the one who has the figure of 36 from coach Gambhir.

Team India Captain for ICC T20 World Cup 2026: The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will start in February, whose final match will be played in the first week of March. The performance of the Indian team in T20 is very good. However, the performance of the captain and vice-captain of Team India remains a matter of concern. The captain and vice-captain of the Indian team are not scoring runs.

Ever since Suryakumar Yadav became the T20 captain of the Indian team, Team India has been winning continuously, but his own performance has been very poor. Runs are not coming from the bat of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, the captaincy can be taken away from him before the T20 World Cup 2026 (ICC T20 World Cup 2026).

Suryakumar Yadav’s performance in T20 has deteriorated after becoming captain.

Before becoming the captain of the Indian team, Suryakumar Yadav had played 70 T20 matches as a batsman, during which he has scored 2800 T20 runs with an average of 45.55 and a strike rate of more than 170. During this period, Suryakumar Yadav has also scored 16 fifties and 3 centuries.

However, ever since Suryakumar Yadav became the captain of the Indian team, his performance has been very poor. After becoming the captain, Suryakumar Yadav has scored 500 runs in 35 matches at an average of 24.36 and a strike rate of 175. During this period, Suryakumar Yadav has scored 1 century and 4 fifties as captain.

Whereas in 2025, if Suryakumar Yadav, as captain and batsman, has scored only 201 runs in 17 matches at a very poor average of 14.35 and strike rate of 126.45, this year neither has he scored a single century from his bat nor has he been able to score a half-century.

This player will be the new captain of India in T20 World Cup 2026

The command of the Indian team can be handed over to Hardik Pandya in the T20 World Cup 2026. Hardik Pandya had recently said that for him country comes before himself. Hardik Pandya had said that it does not matter what Hardik Pandya wants, what matters to me is what my country India wants from me.

After the defeat in the second T20, Hardik Pandya was seen arguing with coach Gautam Gambhir. Hardik Pandya could not tolerate the defeat of the Indian team and had an argument with coach Gautam Gambhir. Seeing Hardik Pandya’s patriotism, BCCI Chief Mithun Manhas can hand over the captaincy of Team India for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 to Hardik Pandya.

Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the Indian team has played 16 matches, out of which Team India won 10 matches, lost 5 matches, while 1 match was a draw. During this period, India has won 4 out of 5 series under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.
