Suryakumar Yadav, who led the Indian cricket team to win the 2026 T20 World Cup title under his captaincy, has been dropped from Team India. BCCI on Saturday also announced Team India for the series against Ireland, England and the Asian Games. Suryakumar’s name was not visible far and wide in these three squads.

Captaincy has been snatched from Suryakumar Yadav and he is permanently out of the team. Shreyas Iyer has become the new captain of the T20 team. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar also cited poor form as the main reason for Surya’s drop. Tilak Verma has become the vice-captain and 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also been selected in Team India for the first time.

This decision was not easy

Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said about Suryakumar Yadav – This decision was not easy, especially when we have just won the World Cup. But after every World Cup you think about further strategies and what could be the best decision. Keeping the next World Cup in mind, we felt that this would be the right decision.

The last 2 years have not been good at all for Suryakumar Yadav in terms of personal form. In the T20 World Cup 2026, he scored 242 runs in 9 matches. Only one half-century came from his bat in the entire World Cup. Before that, the New Zealand series was good for him, but before that he had also flopped in the series against Australia, South Africa and England.

Suryakumar is the most successful captain

If we look at the winning percentage, Suryakumar Yadav is India’s most successful T20 captain. He captained Team India in 52 matches, out of which the team won 40 matches. Surya’s win percentage as captain was 82, which is very good.

Jasprit Bumrah made a big disclosure

Talking to Sky Sports, Jaspreet Bumrah revealed and said, “I spoke to the BCCI before Rohit and Virat’s retirement and during the IPL that I have considered my workload before the Indo-England series. I have talked to those who manage/manage my back. We decided to be careful.”

Bumrah himself refused

Bumrah himself revealed, “After considering, I contacted BCCI and told that I do not want me to be seen as a captaincy alternative because I will not be able to play all 5 Tests in England. BCCI was watching me as captain, but I had to refuse for him because it is not a good thing that no more captaincy is doing in 3 Test matches, there is no other captaincy in the rest of the matches. Is, so I decided not to take captaincy by thinking in the interest of the team. “

Now on the tour of England, Shubman Gill will be captaining the Indian Test team for the first time. Please tell that Rishabh Pant was given the responsibility of vice -captain in the Test team. Gill will also be under pressure because Team India has not won any Test series in England for the last 18 years.
