Shreyas Iyer Set to Take over India T20I Captaincy From Suryakumar Yadav? Report Cites Multiple Reasons Behind BCCI's Plan
Selectors are weighing a single white-ball captain as Suryakumar Yadav’s form and injury concerns grow, while Shreyas Iyer’s IPL leadership has impressed them.
- The BCCI is planning a major leadership overhaul, with Shreyas Iyer set to replace Suryakumar Yadav as India's T20I captain following the current domestic season. The board intends to unify command across T20 and ODI formats.
- Suryakumar's recent form has prompted this reassessment; the 35-year-old averages under 20 in 10 innings this season and selectors are concerned about his consistency as he nears 36. His wrist troubles add further pressure.
- Shreyas scored 604 runs at a strike rate of 175 last season and has already hit four half-centuries in nine innings this year. He has led three different IPL franchises to tournament finals, demonstrating tactical maturity.

- Upcoming white-ball assignments against Ireland and England will serve as the first test for this new leadership structure. The board is also assessing options ahead of next year's 50-over World Cup.
