27 Oct Suryakumar Yadav likely to lead India in Australia T20Is after World Cup 2023
Suryakumar Yadav will be making his captaincy debut for the Indian cricket team in the T20I series against Australia. Suryakumar Yadav is known for his aggressive batting style and has been a valuable addition to the Indian cricket team in the shortest format of the game.
The absence of the regular T20I captain, Hardik Pandya, could provide an opportunity for other players to take on leadership roles. Captaincy is a significant responsibility, and it’s a great opportunity for Suryakumar Yadav to showcase his leadership skills and make a mark as a captain.
VVS Laxman as a replacement for head coach Rahul Dravid for the upcoming five-match T20I series. Rahul Dravid’s tenure as the Team India coach being set to expire at the end of India’s World Cup 2023 campaign means that there might be transitional arrangements in place as the team continues its international cricket commitments.
VVS Laxman is a respected former cricketer known for his strong technical skills, especially in the longer format of the game, and has a good cricketing acumen. While he has served as the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), taking on the role of head coach, if indeed the reports are accurate, would be a different and significant responsibility.
This kind of transitional arrangement isn’t uncommon in cricket, and it provides an opportunity for the coaching staff to adapt and continue guiding the team effectively during times of change. The performance of the team in the T20I series and how well they adapt to the change in coaching leadership will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
“VVS Laxman has always been in charge when Rahul has taken a break and the same thing is likely to continue for the series just after the World Cup,” a BCCI source told PTI.
