<p><strong>IND vs AUS: </strong>The Big Man stood in Big Occasion! Yes, Skipper Rohit Sharma did the job for India this time and India defeated Australia in a high-octane ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match by runs following Skipper's excellence. </p>



<p>In his furious 92-run knock, the hitman not only shattered numerous records but also ensured a domination position for his team against their rivals in the ICC events. Here we are with the list of records broken and set by Rohit Sharma in his brilliant 92-run innings against Australia in SUPER 8s.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-match-summary">IND vs AUS Match Summary</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rohit-sharmas-excellence">Rohit Sharma's Excellence</a></li><li class=""><a href="#records-set-and-broken-by-rohit-sharma">Records Set and Broken By Rohit Sharma</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Rohit Sharma was not on his full flow in this World Cup but he stood right at the time when it mattered. If the Indian team reached 200+ after the dismissal of Virat and Pant for just 15 runs combined, the batting depth is commendable led by the skipper from the front.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-match-summary"><strong>IND vs AUS Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>Australia invited India to bat first and had early success after dismissing Virat in the second over of the innings. Rohit took on the primary Australian pacer Starc and others too in the powerplay. India were flying high with the skipper leading from the front and India punched down 205 runs in 20 overs, thanks to the finishing touches by Hardik and Shivam Dube. </p>

<p>In response, Australia were in a very good position in the first 13 overs where they posted 128 runs in a loss of just 2 wickets but then Indian bowlers put up a firey show and Australia could only add 53 runs in the remaining overs and India won the match by 24 runs. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="rohit-sharmas-excellence"><strong>Rohit Sharma's Excellence</strong></h2>



<p><a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/rohit-sharma-34102">Rohit Sharma</a> remained in the headlines as his 92-run innings in just 41 balls at a strike rate of 224 played a key role in the moment that India got throughout the match. He was so close of getting his 6th hundred in the T20Is but Starc nailed a near-perfect Yorker to get rid of Sharma. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/rOHIT-jpg.webp" alt="IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma Breaks Flurry Of Records In His 92-run Stand, Check The Full List Here" class="wp-image-141204"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In his 92-run stand, Sharma smacked 8 SIXS and 7 FOURS, which means he smashed 76 runs off 92 by just boundaries. His pulls were much more controlled this time as they were before, his drives were much more allegiant this time as they were before, and his inning was much more impactful as they were before. </p>



<p>Let's take a look at the records set and broken by Rohit Sharma in his innings against Australia:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="records-set-and-broken-by-rohit-sharma"><strong>Records Set and Broken By Rohit Sharma</strong></h2>



<ul>
<li><strong>Fastest Fifty as a Captain in ICC T20 World Cup</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Rohit Sharma now sits at the top of the chart of the fastest fifty as the captain of the side. He struck his 50 runs in just 19 balls which was one ball earlier than the previous record-holder Mohammad Ashraful of Bangladesh. </p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Fastest Fifty in T20 World Cup 2024</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Sharma not only smacked the fastest fifty as the skipper but also smacked the fastest fifty in the 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup. </p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Most Runs in T20I Cricket</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>He surpasses Virat Kohli and Babar Azam to claim the most runs in the history of T20I cricket. He now has 4165 runs under his belt leaving behind Virat Kohli, who has 4103 runs in T20I cricket, and the Pakistan star batter Babar Azam with 4145 runs.</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>First Player to Hit 200 Sixes</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Rohit became the first player to smack 200+ sixes in the T20I format. He is followed by Martin Guptill, who has 173 sixes to his name.</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Most runs in Starc's Over in T20I</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Rohit smacked Starc for 28 runs in the third over of the match where he hit 6,6,4,6,0,6 in the second over of Starc. Mitchell Starc has not gone for that many runs in his spells in many matches but this time, Rohit stormed him away for 28 runs.</p>

<p>Gautam Gambhir has been in the buzz since he won the IPL 2024 with his former team, the Kolkata Knight Riders, as their mentor. He was hence appointed the successor to departing Indian head coach Rahul Dravid, and Gambhir has been anticipated by cricket legends as one of the finest ever reactors in the modern game. <br> <br>Among several tasks left with the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir?s priority will be to have the best of teams across all formats. As per reports, the ex-KKR mentor has already asked for different teams in different formats, and even the BCCI has agreed to the same. <br> <br>Let?s have a look at who the probable superstars of the Indian team are who might see a change in fortune under the new head coach. </p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>5 Players Indian coach Gambhir might look to use differently</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#kl-rahul">KL Rahul</a></li><li class=""><a href="#shreyas-iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a></li><li class=""><a href="#rishabh-pant">Rishabh Pant</a></li><li class=""><a href="#suryakumar-yadav">Suryakumar Yadav</a></li><li class=""><a href="#hardik-pandya">Hardik Pandya</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="kl-rahul">KL Rahul</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Rahul-1024x569.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-143252" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KL Rahul expected to be back in action for the Men in Blue (Image: The Indian Express)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>The LSG skipper was earlier dropped from Tests and was seen representing India only in white-ball cricket. However, owing to his weak performance, he was not a part of the team that played for India in the T20 World Cup. <br> <br>Gautam might see Rahul as a great asset in the ODI format and will be looking to use his expertise in the longest format of the game as well. Hence, Rahul can be expected to never be seen in the shortest format for India, as the format often demands more younger players.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="shreyas-iyer">Shreyas Iyer </h3>



<p>India?s most static young performer was denied an annual contract by the BCCI earlier this year; however, under the ex-KKR mentor, Iyer might be seen representing the men in blue across all three formats. Iyer, who has immense potential in white-ball cricket, lost his place in the T20 team despite winning the IPL trophy. <br> <br>However, with his experience, Iyer might make his way into the shortest format soon under Gambhir. He is a constant for India in ODIs and has shown his caliber in the longest format of the game. Especially if Kohli discontinues test cricket, he will be the ideal player to replace him at No. 4. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="rishabh-pant">Rishabh Pant</h3>



<p>India?s soon-to-be all-format hero was chosen for all formats until his injury ruled him out. After his return, he was soon selected to feature in the T20 World Cup and was an inevitable part of the World Cup-winning squad. <br> <br>Pant might be called back to feature for the Men in Blue across all formats, as in T20s and tests, India does not have many options other than the left-handed wicketkeeper batter. Pant might be doubted in the ODI format, as KL Rahul has shown some great resolve at No. 5, and Gambhir would not look to have the young wk-bat so early in the ODI format, especially marking that he needs to revive form after his not-so-worthy performance in the T20 World Cup. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="suryakumar-yadav">Suryakumar Yadav</h3>



<p>SKY was the man of the moment for India in the final of the T20 World Cup. Though the wicket of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Miller_(South_African_cricketer)">David Miller </a>went into the bag of Pandya, it was the solo work of the Mumbai batter on the boundary line that changed India?s fortunes. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/WHAT-a-CATCH-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-143253" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SKY's catch earns India a World Cup title (Image: Times Now)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>However, the man has only been stunning in the shortest format of the game, as he is now India?s official third-highest scorer in the format. Experimented in ODI and Test formats, Gambhir might not be including the Mumbai Indians star in those two formats, while he will be seen playing a few T20 World Cups for the Men in Blue. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="hardik-pandya">Hardik Pandya</h3>



<p>From woes all around India to emerging as their World Cup hero, this man has seen it all. Yes, none other than Hardik Pandya is largely considered India?s best prospect for the future in white-ball cricket. <br> <br>Pandya might also be replacing World Cup-winning skipper Rohit Sharma as the next skipper of the Indian team before the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2026. The brilliant all-rounder has been an ace performer for India with both bat and ball. <br> <br>After being ruled out of the CWC 2023, India faced immense concern over his position, and hence Gambhir would like to give him some time off whenever he needs it, though foreseeing him as an all-format cricketer for India and also looking to project him as a pace bowling all-rounder and recalling him in tests.</p>

5 Indian players who might have a change of fate under new coach Gautam Gambhir

<p>IND vs SL: The BCCI had earlier announced on the 11th of this month that India?s tour of Sri Lanka will commence on the 26th of July. However, they recently took to their X handle and confirmed a revised schedule under which the tour will instead start a day later, on July 27th. <br> <br>India will now start their T20Is against the Sri Lankan side on July 27 as they play their first three matches of the shortest format of the game at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallekele_International_Cricket_Stadium">Pallekele</a>. They later move to Colombo on the 31st, as they will play their three ODIs in the capital city. <br> <br>Recently, the BCCI replaced the World Cup-winning coach of the Indian side, Rahul Dravid, after the end of his extended tenure. World Cup-winning veteran Gautam Gambhir has been appointed to the role, and this will be his first series with the Men in Blue. <br> <br>The Men in Blue are yet to announce a squad for their upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Though it is much anticipated that veterans Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and World Cup hero Jasprit Bumrah might not be seen in the blue jersey.</p>

</figure>



<p>As their replacements, young skipper Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul, who might be called back, might lead the Indian side in the T20I and ODI series, respectively. <br> <br>The Lankans also, after their humiliating exit at the T20 World Cup in the United States, faced several changes as Chris Silverwood stepped down from the position of coach and veteran Sanath Jayasuriya was appointed to the position. Just like Gambhir, this will be his first outing with the team as well. </p>

IND vs SL: The BCCI has announced a revised schedule for India?s tour of Sri Lanka

ind-vs-sl-the-bcci-has-announced-a-revised-schedule-for-indias-tour-of-sri-lanka

<p><strong>IND vs SL:</strong> Gautam Gambhir?s first assignment with the India side will be on the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. After India?s victory in the T20 World Cup, veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from the shortest format of international T20s. <br> <br>This would be the bigger concern for Gambhir as he looks to replace the two veterans in the format. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma might be replaced ideally by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yashasvi_Jaiswal">Yashasvi Jaiswal</a>, who has shown quite the intent as was possessed by the veteran batter. <br> <br>Other than the two players, several of the stars who starred in the t20 World Cup, including Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav, might look to make a comeback in the T20I series against Sri Lanka. Gambhir might give chances to some players who have recently been inspiring in their outings on the Zimbabwe tour. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="abhishek-sharma">Abhishek Sharma </h3>



<p>The left-handed batter has been a star in the format after an ace performance in the IPL; now he has been a star for the Men in Blue. Recently, Abhishek has entered the record books by scoring a ton and taking a wicket in the same series. <br> <br>Gambhir will look to have a player of his caliber in the team, as there remains a bright prospect in the player. After an impressive opening to his career on the Zimbabwe tour, he will be seen among the favorites to be picked by the India side for the tour of the Lankan islands. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="riyan-parag">Riyan Parag</h3>



<p>The IPL star, who has risen to excellence after facing severe criticism, made a standout performance to find his place in the Indian side. However, he was not among the scorers, as he never got to bat except for the match where Gill?s XI faced a humiliating loss to the underdogs. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Riyan-Parag-1024x682.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-143391"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Parag in action for India (Image: Sporting News)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p><br>Though Parag didn?t see much coming, Gambhir would look to hand him another chance in the upcoming series and probably hand him some more game time.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="ruturaj-gaikwad">Ruturaj Gaikwad </h3>



<p>Gaikwad is probably India?s next most subtle player, as he can be the best prospect at No. 3, who can fill in the big shoes of Virat Kohli. Though not easy yet, the CSK star is the probable option for even Gambhir to replace the veteran, as there are some chances that Gambhir might not land in Gill very regularly in T20s. The rising superstar has often been criticized for his lack of intent, which is a primary need of the format, rather than averaging over 50 on all occasions.  </p>

</figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="avesh-khan">Avesh Khan  </h3>



<p>The pacer from the Royals side was one of the finest implementors with the old ball in the death overs. Khan replaced veteran bowler Bumrah?s role in the side, and with him being rested for the upcoming series, Khan might find a place in Gambhir?s squad not only in the shortest format but also in the ODI format. <br> <br>Khan can be an ideal wicket-taking option with both the new and the old ball, and if he continues to do well under the new coach, he can be India?s ideal solution to their third pacer requirement.  </p>

</figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="khaleel-ahmed">Khaleel Ahmed  </h3>



<p>Khaleel has now been an experienced campaigner, as he has played several seasons in the IPL. Though the left-armer made a start to his international career long back under Kohli, he was brought back into the side as India is in the hunt for a third optional pacer, and it will be great if he is a left-handed pacer. <br> <br>Ahmed can also be a part of Gambhir?s 15-man squad, as India lacks the natural abilities of a left-handed pacer. Alongside Arshdeep, he can be another star in the format and might find himself progressing under Gambhir.</p>

ind-vs-sl-5-new-players-who-can-retain-their-spot-for-t20is-in-gambhirs-india-squad-for-the-sri-lanka-tour

<p><strong>IND vs SL</strong>: The Champions trophy is back and since 2018, this will be played again in 2024 for the first time. With speculations over India?s participation, new coach Gambhir would look to be ready with his side, in case they proceed to play their first ICC tournament under him in Pakistan. <br><br>Though BCCI secretary, Jay Shah and T20 World Cup winning skipper have often indicated India?s positive participation in the games. Jay Shah proclaimed that India will be led by Rohit in the upcoming <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICC_Champions_Trophy">Champions Trophy</a> as well. <br><br>As of now, Gambhir is assigned his first major tour to Sri Lanka with the men in blue and this will be his only ODI series in the sub-continent, as later in February next year India will be touring England for the same. So Gambhir might look to reinforce his squad to get over the flaws that led to India?s loss in the finals of the World Cup in 2023, despite their dream 10-match unbeaten run. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="an-opener-alongside-skipper-rohit-sharma">An Opener alongside skipper Rohit Sharma </h3>



<p>When India went all attack in the last 50-over World Cup on their home grounds, the only player who seemed to be struggling with both form and intent was the skipper's opening partner, Shubman Gill. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



<p>Gill has often been criticised for his lack of intent and lack of the spirit of the game, as he is often seen playing some of his own game irrespective of what the team needs from him. Now with Gambhir having several options in young Yashasvi Jaiswal and potent successor of the veterans Ruturaj Gaikwad, Gill?s position might look threatened. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="after-shreyas-iyers-stunning-cwc-campaign-should-he-make-a-return">After Shreyas Iyer?s stunning CWC campaign - Should he make a return </h3>



<p>Shreyas Iyer, the KKR skipper has been the best in the format for India. As he has been the only batter from India who featured in ICC?s ODI team of the year for 2022, and he continued his form into 2023 as well. <br><br>However, after his breathtaking stance in the Cricket World Cup 2023, he was dropped from BCCI?s annual contract which took all by surprise. Gautam Gambhir who is well aware of his calibre might be baking him to make a comeback for India. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="after-pants-return-who-is-at-no-5-pant-or-rahul">After Pant?s return - Who is at no.5 - Pant or Rahul </h3>



<p>Rishabh Pant was seen playing for the Men in Blue at no.4, while his absence was taken over by former Capitals teammate, Shreyas Iyer. With Pant?s return and KL Rahul?s unstoppable form at no.5 for India, this will be a tough choice for Gambhir. <br><br>Rahul has improved his skills as a wicket-keeper; hence, Pant cannot exceed him in anything. Still, Pant might look to feature for India, even if it means alternate games for Iyer and Pant if speculations hold about Rahul being India?s stand-in skipper. </p>

<p>In the absence of senior bowlers, Bumrah and Shami this will be the best chance for the Indian team to access their third pace bowling option. There is severe competition for the spot, as T20 World Cup ace Arshdeep Singh stands in a queue alongside Avesh and Khaleel both under-19 teammates, who have had promising domestic seasons for India, before making their way into international cricket. <br><br>Gambhir might also look to fancy his chances on bowlers like Mukesh Kumar and KKR pacer Harshit Rana, as both these bowlers can also bring in the quality that India need for their upcoming big games in the Champions Trophy and later the CWC 2027.<br></p>

ind-vs-sl-with-the-champions-trophy-in-sight-what-changes-would-new-coach-gambhir-look-to-make-in-indias-odi-squad-from-the-upcoming-tour

<p>IND vs SL: Abhishek Sharma, India?s new rising superstar, was picked for his debut series in the shortest format of the game after his splendid season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024. <br> <br>After Indian veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, alongside Jadeja, retired from international T20 cricket, Team India is in the quest for their successor. Sharma can be picked as the ideal player who has similar hitting prowess and aggressive intent as the ex-Indian skipper. <br> <br>Abhishek was seen playing a very handy role for the Indian side in his first-ever international series at the Harare Stadium. After facing a major setback in the opening game, Abhishek wreaked havoc as he made a mockery of the bowlers to score a brilliant 100, the first player to score a hundred in only their second international appearance. </p>



<p>He also picked up two wickets in the last two games of the series, as the left-handed batter did not score many at No. 3 after Jaiswal?s arrival. <br> <br>Against the Lankans, India will be seen with a new XI under coach Gautam Gambhir. Amidst the return of players like Pant, Pandya, and <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/suryakumar-yadav-446507">Suryakumar Yadav</a>, Abhishek Sharma will be one of those players who should find a spot in the team after his decent outing with the Indian team against Zimbabwe. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-reasons-why-abhishek-sharma-is-indias-best-batting-all-rounder-in-making">3 Reasons Why Abhishek Sharma is India?s Best Batting All-Rounder in Making </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="quality-batsman-with-an-advantage-of-opener">Quality Batsman: With an Advantage of Opener</h3>



<p>Abhishek is not an all-rounder when it comes to batting; just like his mentor, he is the best possible man with the willow on the field. With proper cricketing shots, Abhishek is not someone who will serve you as a closing or finishing option; he is the one whom a team can rely on. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Six-hitting-machine.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-143538"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India's new 6-hitting machine (Image: India Today)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>With his brilliant 100, he has proved his worth as a batter. More than his caliber, what counts in the format is the intent he brings along. Abhishek has already hit many records, as he has been proclaimed one of the cleanest hitters on the white ball for India, who can be a great prospect for India.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="a-healthy-hand-with-the-ball">A healthy hand with the ball</h3>



<p>Abhishek can be the answer to India?s long-asked query: a replacement for Yuvraj Singh, a batter who can bowl an over or two in a T20 game. India has found its groove with all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel. <br> <br>However, sometimes there seems to be a need for top-quality batsmen who can slip in a few overs. Abhishek, alongside his ton, has picked up a couple of wickets, and before this, he has also proved how effective he can be on tracks that spin or bounce. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



<p>India may find their long-lost star back in his most highly anticipated disciple, as he often reminds us of his mentor, the veteran Indian who ruled the format as no one else did.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="versatile-enough-to-be-placed-anywhere-in-the-batting-order">Versatile enough to be placed anywhere in the batting order </h3>



<p>Abhishek Sharma is not one of those batters who can bat only upfront in the powerplay, as the player can generate shots of his own, especially scoring at a high rate with sixes all around the park. <br> <br>Abhishek never seems to let the run flow stop, as he bats with equal determination and boundary percentage even in the middle-over phases of the game. Possessing all these, he will be a first-hand choice, and Gambhir might look to give him further chances in the future to test his likeness to be an ideal successor to the great Rohit Sharma.</p>

IND vs SL: After the Zimbabwe series and awaiting a call-up for the Sri Lanka tour, 3 Reasons that Prove Abhishek Sharma Can be India's best option for a batting all-rounder

<p><strong>IND vs SL</strong>: With speculations over, who will Gambhir consider as a more viable option for the role of the Indian captain for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka? Suryakumar Yadav has been chosen for the role. <br> <br>It has been decided that India will be led in the 3-match T20I series by Suryakumar and not Hardik Pandya. However, Hardik was seen as Rohit?s deputy in the T20 World Cup and is even a far more experienced skipper as compared to Surya. However, despite all this, Surya is picked as the captain, and the decision does not seem very unlikely looking at Hardik?s often injured status. </p>

</figure>



<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya">Hardik Pandya</a> has led India in a total of 16 T20 internationals and has led the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Though he was mostly booed for his captaincy takeover in the MI den, Pandya showed sheer dominance with the Titans. </p>

<p>Suryakumar is now set to replace outgoing captain <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohit_Sharma">Rohit Sharma</a> in the role. SKY is much more of a regular player for India in the shortest format of the game. He is undoubtedly the most consistent performer for India in the format, and he also saw some success with the Men in Blue later in 2023 when he led India to a 4-1 victory over then-recent World Cup champions Australia. </p>

<p>With Gautam Gambhir having stepped in as the new India head coach, he might be looking at Suryakumar in the series to foresee him as a permanent skipper for India in T20Is. Just after a young Indian team led by Shubman Gill put on a show to win a 4-1 series against Zimbabwe, Indian selectors would be looking forward to giving more of a chance to their upcoming generations during the team announcement on Wednesday.<br></p>

IND vs SL: Some saw it coming: Suryakumar Yadav placed ahead of Hardik Pandya for the captaincy role in Sri Lanka T20Is

ind-vs-sl-some-saw-it-coming-suryakumar-yadav-placed-ahead-of-hardik-pandya-for-the-captaincy-role-in-sri-lanka-t20is

<p><strong>IND vs SL:</strong> With the squads awaited today, many recent speculations have stated that Gambhir has urged the former Indian skipper to be a part of his first outing as an international coach; however, nothing has been reverted back by either Rohit Sharma or veteran batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohli</a>. <br> <br>Rohit led India to a famous T20 World Cup victory in the US, ending their years of trophy drought in World Cups. After their triumph, both the veterans, Rohit and Virat, pulled the curtains on their splendorous T20I careers. Alongside retiring from the shortest format of the game, the two have asked for some time off from international duty from the BCCI. <br> <br>However, first, it was largely anticipated that India would not have their veterans playing in the Sri Lanka tour in the ODIs; however, Gambhir, after being appointed as the head coach, has requested both the legendary batters to be a part of the ODI squad in Sri Lanka. <br> <br>If Rohit is picked for the Sri Lanka tour, what opening combinations can Gambhir try alongside the Indian skipper at one end? </p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Gambhir's possible option to try for Opening partners in ODIs</h2><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#3-shubman-gill-and-rohit-sharma">3.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-shubman-gill-and-rohit-sharma">3. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma</h3>



<p>The same old duo?we have seen these two opening for India since Shikhar Dhawan was dropped from the Indian side. Gill rose to prominence at the end of 2022, when he played unstoppable hands against New Zealand and other teams. After a stunning season with the Titans in the IPL, Gill was picked for India?s opening spot alongside Rohit Sharma. <br> <br>However, Gill has not been able to meet the expectations of his selectors and was dropped from the Indian side in the shortest format, and though Gambhir might give him a chance alongside Rohit, it would only be an opportunity for the youngster to prove his worth in the format. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-ruturaj-gaikwad-and-rohit-sharma">2. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rohit Sharma</h3>

</figure>



<p>India has now finally seen the bright prospects in Gaikwad, and if not now, then it would be late, as the 27-year-old is in fine form and is mature enough to open in the format alongside the skipper. <br> <br>Rohit, who is often known as a batsman who likes to play his shorts, does need a batsman who is composed and mature enough to keep the scoreboard ticking. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Super_Kings">CSK</a> skipper is praised by even the new Indian coach and is seen to be an all-format cricketer for the Men in Blue. </p>

<ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>



<p>Jaiswal, one of the finest young talents in the entire world of cricket, has already been picked as a constant for India?s test as well as the T20I squad. The player who has made quite an impact in his List A career domestically, scoring a great double hundred as well, is yet to feature for the Men in Blue in the one-day format. <br> <br>However, with Gambhir often seen with his aggressive mindset when it comes to batting, especially in the powerplay, he might look to feature the youngster with Rohit, as both can put immense pressure on the bowlers from both ends with their high-quality shots and intent to score at a higher rate. <br> <br>Gambhir might be trying either or combinations, with the presence of Rohit Sharma; however, nothing is confirmed till the squad for India?s tour of Sri Lanka is announced.<br></p>

<p><strong>IND vs SL</strong>: India is all set to tour Sri Lanka on the 27th of this month. India will play their first series under the new head coach, Gautam Gambhir, who will remain with the Indian team for all major tournaments until 2027. <br> <br>The tour will comprise three T20Is, which will be played at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallekele_International_Cricket_Stadium">Pallekele International Stadium</a>, and then the team will move to the capital city of Colombo for the ODI series. Team India has not yet announced the squads for either the T20I or the ODI series, as the team meeting is to be held on the 18th of July. <br> <br>As per reports from ESPNcricinfo, Gautam Gambhir had earlier urged the Indian skipper to be available for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka. Though Gambhir had also requested the same for veteran Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, they might not be featured in the series. <br> <br>IPL-winning skipper and ex-KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir will look to make a comeback for the Indian side. Yes, it is the World Cup campaigner, Shreyas Iyer, who had a wonderful World Cup in 2023, who was ruled out of a contract by the BCCi, and now he is looking to make a comeback.<br> </p>

<p>Though nothing has been fixed, Rohit Sharma might be making a comeback with the Indian team for the ODI series at the behest of the new Indian head coach?s request.

<p>One of India?s top run-scorers and better players in the Cricket World Cup of 2023, Shreyas Iyer, who was dropped from the BCCI annual contract, is expected to return to the Indian side under Gambhir?s tenure. <br> <br>Hardik Pandya has also asked the BCCI not to include him in the ODI series due to some family concerns, and hence he is set to be replaced by Sanju Samson, who will now be seen with the Indian team in the longer limited-overs format as well. <br> <br>The last keynote would be the captaincy options, and Suryakumar Yadav will likely be seen as the new T20I skipper for India, maybe in a permanent role till the next World Cup in 2026. However, if Rohit fails to make it to the ODi series, then KL Rahul might be seen as his deputy with the captain's band for the series.<br></p>

<p><strong>IND vs SL:</strong> The long-awaited squad for the Indian team for the much-anticipated Sri Lanka tour has been announced by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Control_for_Cricket_in_India">BCCI</a>.

However, veteran pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for the tour. <br> <br>With an insight into the BCCI?s announced squad, the most controversial decisions among all are the dropping of young Abhishek Sharma from the T20I squad and Ruturaj Gaikwad not being picked for the tour. Also, India misses the likes of ace pacer Avesh Khan, who was anticipated by all to be seen in for the Blues. </p>
