During the match, he also removed Heinrich Klaasen who almost took the game away from the Men in Blue.<br \/>\nFor the captaincy, the names of Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav were also discussed but Pandya emerged as the favourite and is likely to lead the team in the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka.<br \/>\nThe goal is to give Pandya enough time and matches to make sure he is ready for the 2026 T20 World Cup which will be played in India and Sri Lanka.<br \/>\nIndia are currently playing a five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe where Shubman Gill is leading the team. The series is tied 1-1 after the Blues made an impressive comeback in the second T20I and registered a 100-run win.<br \/>\nEarlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India\u2019s (BCCI) Secretary, Jay Shah, confirmed that Rohit will lead the Indian cricket team in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 and Champions Trophy 2025.<br \/>\nSharma recently ended India\u2019s 11-year-long ICC trophy drought and guided them to a T20 World Cup win when the Blues defeated South Africa in a thrilling final in Bridgetown.<br \/>\nSharma was appointed India\u2019s captain in 2021 after Virat Kohli stepped down and since then, the Blues made it to the WTC 2021-23 final and the ODI World Cup 2023 final where they lost to Australia on both occasions.<br \/>\n\u201cI am confident that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, we will win the WTC Final and the Champions Trophy,\u201d Shah said in a video shared by the BCCI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pandya will be rewarded for his exceptional performance in T20 World Cup 2024, says Indian media Islamabad India\u2019s fast bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya is likely to replace Rohit Sharma as India\u2019s T20I skipper after the latter announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game after winning the T20 World Cup 2024.
