Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, India won the T20 World Cup 2026, defeating New Zealand in the final. There is no denying that Yadav did his captaincy job precisely, but it is his bad patch that is holding him back from further progression with the national cricket team.
Former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif mentions that Shreyas Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir had worked closely in the Indian Premier League for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to help the team claim their third league title.
Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer worked together in the past
“Gautam has worked before with Shreyas and won the trophy for KKR. Shreyas got Delhi and Punjab to the final. In terms of experience, Shreyas has led in the IPL, won the trophy, and understands Gautam's pattern. In terms of that mutual understanding, Shreyas seems to be the frontrunner,” Mohammad Kaif said on his YouTube channel.
Kaif suggests Jasprit Bumrah's name
Kaif has another suggestion for the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) if they want to remove Yadav. According to the former cricketer, Jasprit Bumrah is someone who has long served the team across the formats, has leadership qualities, and deserves to be the skipper of the T20I set-up, subject to his fitness.
"He even gave a statement, which shows that he has the desire to captain. I don't know about his fitness and participation, but in that sense, no one should even be close to him, because he has been on the team and done well in different conditions," he added.
