Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav congratulate Shreyas Iyer for becoming new India T20I captain | WATCH VIDEO

Shreyas Iyer has been named as India’s new T20I captain. Suryakumar Yadav was axed from his role despite winning the T20 World Cup 2026 and not losing a single bilateral series. He has been completely dropped from the T20I scheme of things, as Suryakumar’s form played a major role in the decision. He has struggled to live up to the reputation in the T20 World Cup and also in the IPL 2026, leading to the BCCI considering a change in the leadership.
