BREAKING: Suryakumar removed as India T20 captain, to lose place in team as well

[test fan]

Change at the top comes three months after T20 World Cup title at home

 

Three months after he led India to the T20 World Cup title on home soil, Suryakumar Yadav has been removed as the captain and is unlikely to find a place in the side going forward. This comes ahead of the tours of Ireland and England starting later this month.

 

The Board of Control for Cricket in India, in consultation with the team management and selection committee, will appoint a new captain for the new cycle.

 

“The selection committee, BCCI and team management, in consultation with coach Gautam Gambhir, have decided that India should go with a new skipper from here on. Under Surya’s captaincy, the team did win the T20 World Cup but keeping his form and future in mind, they felt it’s time to move on,” a top BCCI official told The Indian Express.

 

"He won’t be considered for selection, and the decision will be conveyed to Surya soon.”

 

 

The Indian team will be playing two T20Is in Ireland before five in England.

 

Surya’s form with the bat was a big concern and he has endured a prolonged run of poor form over the last two years, with his fortunes plummeting in the 2026 IPL season as well. While he finished his season with a half-century against the Rajasthan Royals, Surya only amassed 270 runs in 13 innings, averaging 20.76 this season.

 

Even as he led India to their third T20 World Cup title in March, Surya’s batting has faced intense scrutiny. He was handed India T20I captaincy after Rohit Sharma retired from the format post the World Cup win in the West Indies in 2024.

Story is break by Devendra Pandey .

 

Pandey is mostly right.  Good news 

 

Iyer is leading the captaincy race but Tilak and ishan also in fray. 

 

Now Mumbai Mafia's definitely want Tilak to become the captain .

he had enough chances. The gum-chewing idiot had enough time to work on his form. Maybe he got complacent. THINKING no way he will get fired after winning WC

Iyer maybe captain and he is still 31 so he can play for 2 more World cups if his form doesnt dip.

[cowboysfan]

we will  always be thankful for that great catch in the WC final which won us the game.

It might be between Iyer and Kishan.  Reckon Tilak Varma could be the VC

Too many top order players. Would like Iyer or Patidar to replace him. Samson can be captain 

[The Realist]

Disastrous if true for the chewing gum industry @asterix

 

Should make Pant captain, will be hungry to prove himself...

[test fan]

Rcb lobby- Patidar ko banao 

Csk lobby - Sanju Samson ko banao 

Mumbai Mafia - sky ko bewajah nikal rahe ho to Tilak ko bana do 

 

True Indian team supporter - kisi ko bhi bana do bus selfish na khele.

It has happened before. Srikkanth after drawing test series in pakistan got kicked out as his personal form was bad.
