    Suryakumar Yadav did not get a place in the ODI team because of these 3 players, Selector made a big disclosure

    Suryakumar is a great batter in T20. There is no one to match him in this format. But Suryakumar has not been able to prove himself in ODIs. He could not make an impact in all the opportunities he got. However, this is not the reason behind Suryakumar not being selected in the ODI team. The reason behind this is three players.

    Who are those three players?

    Before leaving for the Sri Lanka tour, Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar held a press conference in Mumbai on Monday. Agarkar said that the team has excellent middle order batsmen in the form of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, so Suryakumar was not selected in the ODIs.

    In this conference, questions were raised about Suryakumar not being selected in the ODI team. On this, Ajit Agarkar said, “Suryakumar’s name was not discussed for ODIs. Shreyas Iyer has returned to the ODI team, KL Pant has also returned. So we have many good middle order players. Therefore, Suryakumar’s name was not discussed for the ODI team.

    LSG to Remove KL Rahul as Captain before IPL 2025; Amit Sharma Drops Major Hint

    KL Rahul has led the Lucknow Super Giants for three consecutive years in the IPL.

    LSG to Remove KL Rahul as Captain before IPL 2025; Amit Sharma Drops Major Hint

    “It does not matter if he is in the Indian team or not. But a person who has the right mentality for T20s should be the captain. Someone who plays for the team should be captain. I am sure LSG will look for a better captain,” Mishra said during a conversation with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra.

    Mishra also shared insights into a conversation between LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka and Rahul after their 10-wicket loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad. “He (Goenka) was disappointed. We lost two back-to-back matches very badly. Against KKR, we lost by some 90-100 runs and against SRH, the match was finished within 10 overs. It felt like we were bowling to them during a net practice session. If I am so angry about it, will someone who has actually invested in the team not feel angry? It was not a huge deal. But I later came to know that he said the bowling was very bad and the team should have shown some fight. It looked like you had completely surrendered. But I feel people and media hyped it up a bit,” Mishra explained.

    KL Rahul may get the captaincy of Indian Team, might take over the command in place of Rohit Sharma!

    Team India has won the T20 World Cup but it is still in constant action. The young team is touring Zimbabwe under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. Only 3 members of the T20 World Cup winning team are present here, who are going to return from the third T20 match. After this series, Team India will go on a tour of Sri Lanka, where T20 and ODI series will be played. The team for this series is yet to be announced but some big news has started coming in. The most important issue in this is the captaincy issue, as Rohit Sharma is sure to be rested from this series. Therefore, it is believed that KL Rahul can be the captain of the ODI series on this tour.

    KL Rahul may get the captaincy of Indian Team, might take over the command in place of Rohit Sharma!

    Team India’s tour of Sri Lanka will start in late July, which will continue till the second week of August. The tour will start with a 3-match T20 series from July 27 and it is believed that most of the players will return from this series after the break of the World Cup win. T20 vice-captain Hardik Pandya can also make a comeback and here he can get the command of the team in this format. After this there will be an ODI series and eyes will be on who will get the captaincy here.

    Will KL Rahul become the ODI captain?

    According to reports, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have retired from T20 International, will also be rested from this ODI series. Apart from him, veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will also be out of this entire tour. In such a situation, there are 2 main contenders in front of the selection committee for the responsibility of captaincy – Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. One of these two will get to take charge of the ODI team. Now who gets this honor, it will be decided next week, when the team will be announced for this tour.

    Rohit Sharma will take charge in the Champions Trophy

    By the way, KL Rahul has improved on the captaincy front in the last few times and has performed better. In such a situation, he is likely to get this responsibility. Anyway, there is not going to be a permanent change in the captaincy in this format at the moment because BCCI secretary Jay Shah had announced a day earlier that Team India will play the Champions Trophy in 2025 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. But whoever gets the captaincy in this series can be a contender for the vice-captaincy in the Champions Trophy.

    IND vs SL: Big Names Including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to Skip Sri Lanka Tour, BCCI to Provide Rest, Captaincy Opportunity Likely

    Indian captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli, along with fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, could be rested for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. In their absence, either Hardik Pandya or KL Rahul may be appointed captain for this tour. Sources suggest that these senior players have requested the BCCI for some time off.

    Rohit Sharma has not taken a break for nearly six months, having been active since the Test series in South Africa in December-January. He has been part of subsequent series including the Afghanistan T20Is, England Test series, IPL, and most recently, the T20 World Cup. India is scheduled to play three T20Is (July 27-30) and as many ODIs (August 2-7) during the Sri Lanka tour.

    According to a BCCI source, “Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are key players in the ODI team and the three 50-over matches against England before the Champions Trophy will serve as ample preparation for them. They will prioritize Test matches in the upcoming months and play 10 Test matches between September and January.”

    The source added, “The Champions Trophy will be held in mid-February and they do not necessarily need to go for the three ODI matches scheduled in Sri Lanka for a week. If they want, they are welcome, but I think they will want to rest.” In Rohit’s absence, Hardik Pandya appears to be the most likely option to lead the Indian team, but KL Rahul, who led the ODI team in South Africa, is also vying for the captaincy.
