'India will've to keep in mind that..': Irfan Pathan's bold take on Hardik Pandya's long-term captaincy thought
Team India and Sri Lanka are gearing up for the three-match T20I series which is set to commence from Tuesday (January 3). Hardik Pandya has been given the onus to lead the Indian pack for the slam bang outing with Suryakumar Yadav by his side in deputy role. After India's debacle in the T20 World Cup 2022, the team management has taken some key decisions before the Sri Lanka series kicks off. The makeshift with KL Rahul didn't yield much of a result in India's favour and going by Hardik's captaincy portfolio, the decision looks well in place. India's failure in T20Is at the bigger stage gave the Indian team management a food for thought that appointing Hardik as regular skipper could make up for India's underperformance.
