Gautam Gambhir is set to make pivotal decisions regarding India’s T20 and ODI squads as they prepare for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. With his first assignment as the head coach, Gambhir, along with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar, faces several challenges in shaping the team composition.

Among the key decisions is the selection of the new T20I captain, with the spotlight on Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. Hardik, known for his dynamic leadership, is a strong contender, but his history of injuries raises concerns about his long-term suitability for the role. On the other hand, Suryakumar, with his experience leading India previously, emerges as a promising alternative.

As the selectors contemplate the T20I captaincy, the ODI squad also requires attention, especially with the likelihood of top players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah being rested. This opens up opportunities for new leaders like Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, and Sanju Samson to step up.

Individual player selections will play a crucial role in the squad formation, with the likes of Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Washington Sundar all vying for spots based on their recent performances and form.
