Why Hardik Pandya Didn’t Get The Captaincy: The Real Reason Revealed!

Why Hardik Pandya Didn’t Get The Captaincy: The Real Reason Revealed! Hardik Pandya’s name keeps popping up in the news. One minute it’s rumors about a divorce with his wife Natasa, the next it’s the drama about him not being named India’s T20 captain.

So, What’s The Real Reason?

Last Thursday, the BCCI announced the Indian squads for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour, with Rohit Sharma staying on as ODI captain and a surprise pick – Suryakumar Yadav – leading the T20 team.

Everyone thought Hardik Pandya, who was the vice-captain during the 2024 T20 World Cup, would be the next captain. But that wasn’t the case.

The Media Reports Are Spilling The Real Tea

At first, we heard it was because of Hardik’s spotty fitness record. But now, media reports are spilling the real tea. According to sources, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir weren’t on board with Hardik leading the T20 squad.

Apparently, Suryakumar Yadav fostered a better team environment, on and off the field, compared to Hardik.
