Shreyas Was A Stand-out Candidate With Enough Experience Now, Tough Call On Surya, Says Agarkar
T20 World Cup: India chief selector Ajit Agarkar said Shreyas Iyer was a stand‑out candidate with the experience to become the new men’s T20I skipper, while admitting it was a tough call to move on altogether from Suryakumar Yadav despite him leading the team to winning the World Cup three months ago.
Suryakumar, 35, has struggled with the bat in recent months, managing only 242 runs in nine T20 World Cup innings, with his unbeaten 84 against the United States the lone standout. His form dipped further in IPL 2026, where he scored just 270 runs in 13 innings at an average of 20.76 as Mumbai Indians finished ninth in the ten‑team points table.
With Shreyas taking over, Suryakumar has been totally omitted from the squads for tours of Ireland, England and the Asian Games. Iyer, 31, last played a T20I in December 2023 but boasts of strong captaincy credentials in the IPL. He led Kolkata Knight Riders to the title in 2024, guided Punjab Kings to a runners‑up finish in 2025, and steered Delhi Capitals to the final in 2020.
