The Indian cricket team is reported to be announced in the third week of August for the Asia Cup starting on 9 September. Before the announcement of the team, the biggest question is the captain. Is captain Suryakumar Yadav fit? What is the latest update on Suryakumar Yadav? Suryakumar Yadav has withdrawn his name from the Dalip Trophy only about the fitness issue. At the moment, he is rehab for NCA and has also started practicing batting. But their fitness cannot be approved until its report comes.
If there is no sunkumar, then who will be the captain?
In T20 format, Suryakumar Yadav is not only the captain of Team India but also has a big force of batting. In such a situation, it would be better that Suryakumar Yadav be seen playing in the Asia Cup. But, if he could not achieve his fitness till then, then in that case Team India may have to find his option. Now the question is, who will become the captain if not Suryakumar?
Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s first option
According to media reports, Shubman Gill can be included in the Asia Cup T20 team. If they come into the team and Suryakumar Yadav’s fitness comes in the way of going to UAE, then it is very likely that Gill can be given the command of the team.
These may be other options for captaincy
The same report like Shubman Gill is also about Shreyas Iyer. It is being said that Iyer can be brought into the team for the Asia Cup. Now if Shreyas Iyer comes in the team, then in the absence of Suryakumar, Team India will have two benefits. First, they can take their place in captaincy. And secondly, he can also take the position of Suryakumar Yadav’s number 4 in batting.
Akshar Patel can also take place
If Suryakumar Yadav is not there, then another option to replace him can be Akshar Patel. Akshar is an important part of Team India in T20 cricket. He also has experience of captaincy in cricket’s shortest format. In such a situation, this left -handed all -rounder can also be replaced by Suryakumar Yadav.
