Hardik Pandya, who was leading in the race for Team India's T20 captaincy, suddenly lagged behind and Suryakumar Yadav was made the captain of the T20 team. Hardik was the vice-captain in the T20 World Cup. After Rohit Sharma's retirement, it was expected that Hardik Pandya would be given the T20 captaincy but it did not happen.
