India’s hopes of winning the ongoing <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup 2022</a> came to an end on November 10, after suffering a comprehensive defeat at the hands of England in the semi-finals. Jos Buttler &amp; Co. thrashed the Men in Blue by 10 wickets to knock them out of the tournament.

It was the first time Rohit Sharma was captaining the Indian team in an ICC tournament. The veteran batter is regarded as one of the finest brains in cricketing circles and has proven his captaincy might in the Indian Premier League on many occasions. However, he was not able to lead his national team to glory at the T20 extravaganza in Australia.

Rohit is 35 years old and is not at the peak of his powers, and it does not appear his form and fitness will last till the next T20 World Cup, which is to be held in the year 2024. Therefore, one could witness the veteran batter stepping down from the leadership role in the shortest format.&nbsp;

Here are players who can lead India in T20Is if Rohit Sharma steps down:

The 30-year-old has featured in 72 T20Is and aggregated 2265 runs at a strike rate of 139.13. He has simply been prolific in the IPL arena too, amassing 3889 runs in 109 matches at a strike rate of 136.22.

Rahul is the designated vice-captain of the Men in Blue across formats and has led his national side a couple of times across formats when Rohit has been unavailable. Thus, the team management could look at the flamboyant batter for the captaincy role in the T20Is if the incumbent skipper steps down.

Rahul has led Punjab Kings in the 2020 and 2021 seasons of the Indian Premier League. Also, he is the current skipper of the Lucknow Super Giants and even guided them to playoffs in the last edition of the lucrative T20 tournament. Thus, the 30-year-old is quite experienced in leading a T20 side and he could be looked at as the next T20I skipper of the Indian team.

Talking about the T20Is, he has smashed 1117 runs in 79 matches at a strike rate of 146.39 and bagged 62 scalps at an economy of 8.31.

Hardik was handed over the leadership reins of the newly-christened Gujarat Titans for the 15th edition of the IPL. It raised a lot of eyebrows as Hardik has not captained any side at a higher level earlier, but what followed was simply remarkable. The 29-year-old was seen handling his troops quite well on the field and led his team from the front. He promoted himself higher up the order and smashed 487 runs in 15 games. Also, he stepped in as the sixth bowling option and took eight wickets for the side.

Under Hardik’s captaincy, GT went on to script history by winning the IPL title in their debut season. Impressed by the leadership skills of the veteran all-rounder, the Indian team management handed him the opportunity to lead the Men in Blue against Ireland, when senior players such as Rohit, Rahul, and Virat Kohli were absent.&nbsp; Hardik seems to have thrived in the leadership role and India could see in him their next T20I captain.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-dont-think-on-these-lines-rishabh-pant-on-competition-with-dinesh-karthik-for-india-spot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a> has been a game-changer with the bat for India across formats. He has played many breathtaking knocks in the international arena, especially in ODIs and Tests. Though the shortest format has not been his happy hunting ground, the 25-year-old is an ever-improving player and could nail the T20Is in the near future. He has featured in 64 T20Is thus far and scored 970 runs at a strike rate of 127.12.&nbsp;

Talking about Pant’s leadership credentials, he is not new to leading a side. The wicketkeeper batter is the incumbent skipper of the Delhi Capitals and has led the franchise in the last two seasons. Also, in the 2021 season, it was under his leadership that the Delhi franchise topped the league stage with 10 wins in 14 games. The southpaw has also appointed the leader of the Indian team for the T20I series against South Africa in July 2022.

Given the Uttarakhand-born has fared well in the leadership role, he could be in line to be India’s next skipper in T20Is. And as Pant is not plagued with injuries, unlike Hardik and Rahul, the think tank could see him as the ideal candidate to fill Rohit’s boots.
