3 Players who can lead Team India on the Sri Lanka tour

3. Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is one of the more experienced players in this team. Having not got selected for the Indian Test squad, the Baroda player would be ready to go and prove his strength as a white-ball specialist. Having said that, it is worth noting that in this squad, Pandya emerges as one of the better options to get this job. And there have been reports as well which suggest that his name will be discussed.

If we look at his experience, Pandya has been around the Indian team since 2016 when he made his debut. He might have played only 60 ODIs and 48 T20Is, but there is a chunk of matches that he has missed over the years due to injury. Speaking of the experience of leading, the young all-rounder was entrusted with the responsibility of leading India A once before.

This was way back in early 2017 when Pandya was still breaking into the international stage and had not made his Test debut. He was called up for the India A team which took on Australians who had come to play a four-match Test series. Pandya led the India A in this three-day first-class match. It should be said that he had done the job quite brilliantly on that occasion.
