Hardik Pandya The Front- Runner To Be The ODI Captain
With doubts about Rohit Sharma’s Test future circulating, there are suggestions that Hardik Pandya might head the Indian side at the upcoming CT 2025. According to a source reported by MyKhel, this move is quite likely to happen. According to the source, Hardik appears to be the best option right now if Rohit is not available. Let us be clear: these are all hypotheses, and there is no reality behind them right now. These suspicions began after Rohit withdrew from the upcoming fifth and final Test in Sydney. He opted out of the game since he was not in strong batting form.
Hardik has the ability to lead under pressure, and his abilities as an all-rounder and skipper makes him an ideal choice for an ICC tournament such as the Champions Trophy,” a source told MyKhel.
Gill requires further growth to become a leader, and SKY’s ODI achievements have not been compelling enough. If Rohit is unable to lead India in ODIs, Hardik Pandya remains the most balanced choice,” the source stated.
