Gautam Gambhir's 'World No.1' Remark on Sanju Samson Goes Viral Amid ODI Snub Sanju Samson has retained his spot in India's T20I squad for the Sri Lanka tour but was left out of the ODI side. This decision has drawn significant attention, especially with Gautam Gambhir's praise of Samson going viral. This tour marks Gambhir's first assignment as head coach. Key Developments Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: Both have confirmed their availability for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka next month. The BCCI's senior selection committee will finalize the squad in a Zoom meeting chaired by Jay Shah, who is currently attending the ICC annual conference in Sri Lanka. Suryakumar Yadav: The BCCI has decided that Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian T20I team for the three-match series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma will continue as the ODI captain. Suryakumar's appointment comes after the selectors expressed concerns over Hardik Pandya's fitness for the captaincy role. Future Leadership: The selection committee is open to changing the T20I captaincy if Suryakumar's performance does not meet expectations. The BCCI aims for Suryakumar to lead India in the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Although Pandya seemed a strong candidate, the BCCI and selectors explained their long-term plans to him, prioritizing stability and performance in the lead-up to the next World Cup.
