Hardik Pandya as Vice-Captain
Although Hardik Pandya aspires to captaincy, he will have to settle for the role of vice-captain during the T20 World Cup. Despite leading the Mumbai Indians amid controversies, the national team’s captaincy remains firmly in Rohit Sharma’s hands. Hardik had captained Team India in various T20 series post the T20 World Cup 2022, raising expectations of a future captain, but Rohit Sharma will continue to lead.
Rohit Sharma – Ending the 11-Year Wait
