A demand to remove Rohit Sharma?...
After the semi-final defeat in the world cup 2022, there has been a growing demand to remove rohit sharma from t20 captaincy. Cricketers like ravi shastri and VVS Laxman have also demanded to make hardik pandya the captain of T20. It is reported that bcci has also made complete preparations for this. If sources are to be believed, before the india vs sri lanka series, there will be a formal farewell of rohit sharma from the post of captain. In the series of 3 t20 matches with New Zealand, the captaincy has been handed over to hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya will be given the responsibility of captaincy
BCCI is fully ready to make hardik pandya the captain. Sources say that before the india and sri lanka series, the responsibility will be formally handed over to Pandya. A media group has quoted a senior bcci official as claiming that the bcci is now preparing for major changes in the t20 team. For this, not only at the captain's level, changes can be seen at many other levels. The source also says that the board is trying to ensure that this entire process goes smoothly and without any reason, news like controversy and estrangement should not come in the media.
Trying to reduce the pressure on Rohit Sharma
The bcci source said, 'There is a need to prepare for the t20 world cup 2024 from now itself. For this massive changes will have to be made. We understand that rohit sharma is a player of great stature but it is also to be understood that he is not going to get younger with time. There is a lot of pressure on his shoulders and we want to reduce it. Although the bcci source has said that there is no plan to change the ODI and Test captain at the moment. Now it has to be seen when the board takes action in this regard.
