With the three-match series against Sri Lanka starting here on Tuesday, Hardik Pandya will be likely to start off his entire T20 captaincy tenure on a daring note as the Indian T20 team gears up to begin life without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul.
When Hardik captained the squad to win in the rain-delayed T20 series in New Zealand, Indian cricket fans got more than just a glimpse of his plans for the team.
The Indian team does not prioritise the shortest format during an ODI World Cup year, but the series will allow Hardik to begin making preparations for the future, notably the T20 World Cup in 2024.
