Mumbai: A few weeks ago, the Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2026) under his leadership. Even under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team has been performing well in the Twenty20 format for the past 2 years. But this time, the 35-year-old right-handed batsman is going to lose the leadership of the national team. Despite winning the T20 World Cup, Suryakumar himself could not perform significantly with the bat. Many people questioned it. After winning the trophy, he came to the press conference and highlighted the goal of 2028 Olympics. But BCCI may be turning its back on Suryakumar.

IPLAfter this, India will tour England and Ireland in June and July. There is doubt whether Suryakumar will be the captain at all. Even if he remains the captain, his performance will be seen under the glass. However, coach Gautam Gambhir himself strongly wants Suryakumar as captain. But according to the news, BCCI may take a tough decision on this issue. And not only the captaincy, but also holding his place as a batter in the team may be a bit challenging for Suryakumar. A board official who did not want to reveal his name also gave that possibility. In an interview given to news agency PTI, the board chief said, “Surely Suryakumar at the moment Indian teamCaptain in T20 format. He will also visit England. But then maybe you have to think. Because you can’t keep a place in the team only in captaincy. He has to perform consistently in his batting as well. Because we have to keep an eye on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as well.”

A lot of young cricketers are emerging from the IPL stage. One of them is Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Many have asked him to play in the senior national team. In this situation, the board may have started thinking about playing the 15-year-old prodigy in the Ireland series. If the off form continues, Suryakumar will lose the captaincy, and may not even be able to retain his place in the Indian team.

Suryakumar Yadav himself scored a total of 230 runs with the bat in the last T20 World Cup. He also scored an unbeaten 84 off 49 balls against the United States. But apart from a half-century, he could not make a significant impact with the bat in the middle order.
