There have been reports that the Indian selectors have started thinking about the future and who could take the T20I team forward in the next cycle. There have been a couple of strong options available for the role, like Samson, Hardik Pandya, and Shreyas Iyer.
Key Points
Ravi Shastri has strongly backed Sanju Samson as a future India T20I captain. Sanju Samson’s performances in the T20 World Cup 2026 and IPL 2026 have strengthened his captaincy case. The selectors are reportedly evaluating long-term leadership options beyond Suryakumar Yadav.
Suryakumar Yadav had a memorable stint as captain, leading India to the Asia Cup 2025 and then the T20 World Cup 2026 title at home, apart from winning almost every bilateral series.
