Apart from the discussions over Hardik Pandya's future as India's T20I captain, his wife, Natasa Stankovic, has also attracted viewers with her recent social media activity. Expected to be India's full-time T20I captain, Hardik might see Suryakumar Yadav replacing him for worries about his long-term fitness. Hardik has also confirmed his absence from the ODI series against Sri Lanka for private matters.
Among this conjecture, Natasa seems to be traveling to Serbia with their son, Agastya. She included plane and house emojis along with Instagram photos of her packing bags under the remark, "It's that time of year." Later she was seen at the airport with Agastya, and Hardik was conspicuously absent.
After Rohit Sharma retired from the format after guiding India to a T20 World Cup success, Suryakumar Yadav is most likely going to succeed him as T20I captain. Hardik has a great degree of captaincy experience, but his recurrent ailments have been cause for worry. An ankle injury suffered in October 2023 sidelined him until IPL 2024. Hardik has participated in just 46 of India's 79 T20Is since early 2022.
Having led Mumbai domestically and India in T20I series against Australia and South Africa, Suryakumar offers a strong history in leadership. His forceful batting technique fits modern T20 cricket really nicely.
Following Rahul Dravid's post-T20 World Cup, Gautam Gambhir's term as India's head coach will also start with the Sri Lanka tour. Considered as a vital phase in developing the team for the next T20 World Cup, set for 2026 in India and Sri Lanka, is this tour.
