Hardik Pandya Deserves to be India T20I Captain: India’s former spin sensation Harbhajan Singh feels that it’s not Suryakumar Yadav but Hardik Pandya who deserves to lead the national side in the shortest format.
Hardik Pandya, who was the T20I captain under Rohit’s absence, was next in line after Rohit Sharma’s farewell from the format. But the newly elected Head Coach Gautam Gambhir and the selectors decided to give the tag to Suryakumar Yadav, citing Pandya’s fitness issues.
Many former players and fans rubbished this decision, and Harbhajan Singh is the lates to join them.

According to Harbhajan, Pandya deserved it more than Suryakumar.
“You don’t play a lot of T20Is these days, and the calendar for the next two or three years is already with the selectors. They should have spoken to Hardik Pandya about the upcoming series in the shortest format and explained to him what was needed. He was India’s T20I captain when Rohit was not around. By logic, Hardik deserved to lead India, as he didn’t do anything wrong.
“I don’t know why his fitness was highlighted while giving leadership to SKY. I don’t have anything against Surya. He is an outstanding and selfless person. I know he was not expecting to get the captaincy. Hardik is unlucky,” he said.
India will meet Bangladesh in a 3-match T20I series, which will commence on October 6 at the Gwalior International Stadium, Madhya Pradesh.
