His place in the team, as well as his captaincy, has been questioned because of his poor form with the bat and fitness concerns. Suryakumar Yadav’s future will be one of the biggest issues to discuss when the selectors meet to pick India's squads for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England.

However, some people from the Indian think tank believe that Suryakumar Yadav, who won the country a T20 World Cup, deserves more patience and support. They believe the stylish batter has earned the right to get more opportunities before any drastic decision is taken.
Shreyas Iyer emerges as front-runner to replace Suryakumar Yadav
One of the strongest contenders is Shreyas Iyer. The Mumbai batter was already appointed vice-captain for Afghanistan ODIs and is seen as a potential leader for India's white-ball teams. Iyer is likely to take the No. 4 batting position if Suryakumar loses his place in the T20I side.
Young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who recently led Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026, is also seen as a future leader. Even Sanju Samson is part of the discussion. The final decision will be taken by chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir.

They have worked together on several important decisions, but some reports suggest there have been differences of opinion on certain selection and team matters in the past. That is why the upcoming selection meeting is expected to be extremely important.
He added, “Is he now the coach's choice? Or he has someone else in mind? And will that someone be the selectors' choice? These are the important points of discussion. Axar Patel was the vice-captain for the World Cup; Ishan Kishan has age, form, and leadership credentials; and then there is Sanju Samson's name doing the rounds. Samson has recency bias on his side, but his inconsistency has not pleased key stakeholders.”
