Post the 2022 T20 WC exit, Rohit Sharma took a long break and the captaincy duties were given to Hardik Pandya, who led India to numerous wins. However, one bad tournament has perhaps ruined his reputation. Failure to do well with Mumbai Indians has costed him the long-term captaincy.

While it's expected that India will manage Jasprit Bumrah's workload by resting him for the Sri Lanka series, the same can't be said for the legendary duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

India squad for SL tour live updates: SKY ahead of Pandya In T20I Captaincy Race
After leading India to their second T20 World Cup title, Rohit Sharma bid adieu to the shortest format.
Therefore, heading into the Lankan series, the Men in Blue are searching for their new captain in T20Is.
Although Hardik Pandya served as Rohit Sharma's deputy in the World Cup, India's newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar are more inclined towards Suryakumar Yadav for the captain's role.
In such a scenario, it's expected that the swashbuckling right-hander will pip Pandya in the race and succeed Rohit as India's T20I captain.
