Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed as India's new T20I captain, succeeding Rohit Sharma, and will lead the team in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Former Head Coach Ravi Shastri commended Yadav's 'street-smart' approach but emphasized understanding his bowlers' strengths and limitations. Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir, starting his tenure as India's head coach, received an emotional and encouraging message from his predecessor, Rahul Dravid, who praised Gambhir's resilience and commitment to Indian cricket. Dravid's departure follows India's T20 World Cup victory, and Gambhir aims to continue the team's aggressive playing style. The series marks a transition phase with younger players stepping up, as seasoned players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retire from T20I cricket.
