3 players who can replace Suryakumar Yadav as India's T20I captain
Suryakumar Yadav was one of the pioneers of India’s changed approach when it comes to batting in T20Is.
1. Shreyas Iyer
The most obvious name of the lot is current Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer. He has already proved himself as a captain in the shortest format, leading Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their third IPL championship in 2024. Then in IPL 2025, took PBKS to their first final since 2014, stamping his authority as captain once again.
The right-hander, currently 31, has plenty more years of international cricket left in him. Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and he have worked together before at KKR, and the duo was a success story. So, the selectors and the management can back him to take over the captaincy duties.
