T20 World Cup 2024: The schedule of the 2024 T20 World Cup has been released recently, which has revealed that Team India is all set to start the tournament against Ireland on June 1.
The question is who will lead the Indian team in this important event? In the last one year, Hardik Pandya has consistently taken charge of the team in most of the T20 series and has led the team through various challenges.
And now everyone wants to know who will be the captain of India in T20 World Cup 2024.
T20 World Cup 2024: Aakash Chopra believes that Rohit Sharma will be the captain
T20 World Cup 2024: The selectors are leaning towards instilling confidence in Rohit Sharma for the captaincy role in the upcoming T20 World Cup (2024). Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also believes that Rohit Sharma is ready to lead Team India in the tournament.
Chopra highlighted an important reason why Hardik Pandya’s captaincy chances seem slim. He expressed concern over Pandya’s fitness, citing his absence from the game due to an ankle injury during the recent World Cup.
Pandya will not be a part of the upcoming series against Afghanistan and has also not participated in the Test matches, indicating a possible direct entry into the IPL without pre-match practice. Chopra suggests that these circumstances could work against Pandya’s captaincy bid.
This is why Rohit Sharma will be the captain
Commentator Aakash Chopra expressed his strong belief that Rohit Sharma will be the only captain to lead the team in both T20 Internationals and T20 World Cup 2024.
The scenario could have been different after the 2022 T20 World Cup. This was mainly due to the team’s performance during that period, where they were only able to score 60 runs in the first 10 overs of the game.
