Surya appointed T20I skipper, Hardik demoted
All-rounder Hardik Pandya was an obvious choice for T20I captaincy after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game. However, Suryakumar Yadav`s appointment came as a shock after Pandya was designated vice-captain of India`s T20 World Cup-winning side. Pandya`s leadership was questioned after his disastrous outing as Mumbai Indians skipper as the five-time champions finished last after winning just four out of 14 matches. The all-rounder was in poor form, managing just 216 runs with the bat, and conceding 387 runs in 14 matches at a poor economy of 10.75 while Suryakumar led India to a 4-1 win in the T20I series against Australia and a 1-1 series finish in South Africa last year.
