Irfan Pathan warns against appointing Hardik Pandya as captain of India’s Twenty20 team for the 2024 World Cup

Irfan Pathan, a former all-rounder for India, recently gave a speech about the need of having a group of leaders within the squad who are able to move the team ahead.

As a result of India’s failure to win yet another ICC crown, views are pouring in from all directions, and many people have begun speculating who should captain the team when it competes in the T20 World Cup in 2024.

Team India, who was led by Rohit Sharma, was able to advance all the way to the semifinals of the Twenty20 World Cup in 2022, but they were ultimately eliminated after a lacklustre effort in the quarterfinal match against England. Hardik Pandya has been recommended by K Srikkanth, a former opening batter for India, to take the helm of the team for the 2024 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the United States of America and the West Indies.

“See, if I were the Chairman of the selection committee, I would say that Hardik Pandya should be the captain of the 2024 World Cup team, immediately, I’d put it that way – number one. “See, if I were the Chairman of the selection committee, I would say that.” And begin the process of reassembling a squad as soon as possible, namely in preparation for the New Zealand series that will take place in a few weeks.

“You start from today, you need to understand that the preparation for the World Cup starts two years in advance,” Srikkanth remarked on the show “Match Point” that is broadcast on Star Sports.

“So, you do whatever you want to do, the trial-and-error policy, do whatever you want, try it for one year, then you form a team, and by 2023 you make sure that this is going to be at the level that is going to play in the World Cup.” “So, you do whatever you want to do, the trial-and-error policy, do whatever you want, try it for one year, then you form a team and make sure

Additionally, as both Bish and Irfan have mentioned, you need more all-rounders who can bowl quickly. We won the World Cup in 1983, the World Cup in 2011, and the T20 World Cup in 2007. What was our secret? We had a lot of all-rounders and semi-all-rounders who could throw the quick ball. Therefore, in order to identify these folks – guys like Hooda, there are going to be a great number of additional Hoodas,” he added.

Irfan Pathan, a former all-rounder for India, recently gave a speech about the need of having a group of leaders within the squad who are able to move the team ahead.

Therefore, I am not claiming that the outcome will change if the captain is replaced; rather, I am stating that the outcome will not change if you continue in this manner. And when it comes to Hardik Pandya, you need to understand, and the rest of us need to understand as well, that he is an all-rounder who bowls fast.

Additionally, he has problems with his injuries. What will you do if he suffers an injury just before the World Cup, and he is your captain? Pathan continued, “And if you don’t have any other leader available, you’ll be in a problem.”

Because of all of his success with the Gujarat Titans, including winning the Indian Premier League and the championship trophy, I have come to the conclusion that Hardik Pandya is an excellent leader. You need to choose not one but two leaders who can move the organisation ahead and make their imprint.

He continued, “You know just like how we talk about openers, we need to have a group of openers, and we also need to have a group of leaders.”

After that, India will play New Zealand in a total of three Twenty20 Internationals and three One-Day Internationals. In the shortest format of the game, Hardik Pandya would lead the team as captain, but in one-day internationals, Shikhar Dhawan, a seasoned veteran, would be in charge. Irfan Pathan
