Changes in the Indian cricket team seem certain in the coming days. After becoming T20 World Champion for the second consecutive time, the possibilities of change of leadership in Team India have now increased. Despite the team winning the World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy is under threat and his retirement seems imminent. In view of this, a big claim has been made. According to a report, Sanju Samson can be the new T20 captain of the Indian team. After the IPL is over, he can be appointed as captain.

Speculation continues regarding the captaincy of Team India in the T20 format. It is believed that the next time Team India takes the field in the series of this format, there will be a new captain. But there are different claims regarding the new captain. Recently, it was revealed for the first time in a report that the selection committee is not at all happy with the batting form of the current captain Suryakumar Yadav and hence he can be removed from the captaincy. In such a situation, Shreyas Iyer can get this responsibility in his place.

But now a newspaper report has revealed that not Iyer but Sanju Samson can be the new T20 captain of Team India. At the end of June, when Team India will play T20 series on Ireland and England tour, Samson can be seen leading the Indian team for the first time. Sanju has been in excellent form for some time now, which he showed even during the World Cup, when he entered the team and played a big role in winning the title. Then he was also chosen Player of the Tournament. Apart from this, he is currently doing wonders with the bat in IPL 2026 also.
