Following the IPL, rumors began circulating about Hardik Pandya and his wife Natasa Stankovic separating. The couple had not been seen together for an extended period during the IPL, the T20 World Cup, and even at the recent Anant Ambani wedding, where Hardik was notably active.
Suryakumar Yadav to be Indian captain in T20Is?
According to the latest rumors, the BCCI may hand over the T20I captaincy to Suryakumar Yadav. With Rohit Sharma retiring from the format, and both Kohli and Jadeja also retired, Hardik Pandya seemed like the obvious choice due to his experience captaining both India and franchises like Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians.
However, concerns over Hardik's fitness may have prompted the BCCI to consider other options. While nothing is confirmed yet, it appears that Suryakumar Yadav could soon take on the leadership role for India in T20Is.
