Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav congratulate Shreyas Iyer for becoming new India T20I captain | WATCH VIDEO | Cricket

Mumbai: Shreyas Iyer has been named as India’s new T20I captain. Suryakumar Yadav was axed from his role despite winning the T20 World Cup 2026 and not losing a single bilateral series.
