Gautam Gambhir will lose his seat because of Shreyas Iyer, Ponting will become the new head coach! Former captain created sensation with his claim

New Delhi: A statement by former England captain Michael Vaughan has sparked a new discussion in Indian cricket. Vaughan said that when he came to know that Shreyas Iyer has got the captaincy of the Indian T20 team, then he thought that Ricky Ponting can become the new head coach of Team India. However, he said this as his estimate and not on the basis of any official information.

The successful partnership of Iyer and Ponting became the reason

Michael Vaughan believes that the pair of Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting have performed brilliantly in the IPL. Together, both of them had taken their team to the finals of IPL 2025. Seeing this success, Vaughan felt that Indian cricket can also trust this coach-captain duo.

Praising the depth of Indian cricket

During the conversation with Ajinkya Rahane, Michael Vaughan also praised the strong bench strength of Indian cricket. He said that India is a country where even after the World Cup winning captain, new players and captains are given a chance. According to him, this is the biggest strength of Indian cricket and that is why the team remains strong.

A chance to prove himself to Iyer

Vaughan said that before the upcoming T20 World Cup, Shreyas Iyer has a great opportunity to prove his captaincy. He expressed confidence that the Indian team will be in a strong position on the England tour and will also be considered a strong contender to win the series.

India-England T20 series will start from July 1

The five-match T20 series between India and England will start from July 1. Everyone’s eyes will be on Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy in this series. The Indian team will enter the field with a new combination and its aim will be to win the series. At the same time, Michael Vaughan’s statement has also become a topic of discussion among cricket fans. At present, no official announcement has been made regarding the head coach of Team India.
