After the defeat of the Indian team in two major T20 series namely Asia Cup and T20 World Cup, there has been a strong demand to change the captaincy of the Indian T20 team and to build a strong team with young players.
The places of some senior players in the Indian team are also in question. The Indian team failed to advance to the finals of the Asia Cup Super 4 after losing to Pakistan and Sri Lanka. While they were expected to play well in the T20 World Cup at least, the absence of Bumrah and Jadeja was a setback for the Indian team.

But that is not the only reason. The Indian team lost the T20 World Cup because the top order of the Indian team did not perform well in the powerplay and did not field a strong playing eleven combination. After India lost the last T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Kohli, Rohit Sharma was appointed as the captain to prepare the Indian team for this T20 World Cup. Rahul Dravid appointed coach.
But Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and his batting after becoming the captain has not been satisfactory. There was a lot of expectation on Rohit Sharma in this T20 World Cup. But the batting did not slow down a bit. Although his opening partner Rahul scored a couple of fifties, his innings did not help the team. Not in a way that has any impact on the game or helps in the important game.
India’s highest score in Powerplay in T20 World Cup is 46 runs. That too was scored against the Netherlands. The batting of the Indian team has been so bad in the powerplay. The reason for India’s loss was that they did not get off to a strong start in the Powerplay and could not score enough. That was the reason for the semi-final exit. Many former players are saying that the time has come to change the captaincy and team structure of the Indian team.

While there is a question about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, former player Atul Wasan who has spoken about it, thinks that Rohit Sharma’s T20 captaincy period is over. Rohit Sharma’s continued captaincy is no longer of any use to the Indian team. There are 2 people left for T20 captaincy. Hardik Pandya – Rishabh Pant can be appointed captain. Captain Rohit alone cannot be blamed for that. Because no decision is taken by him personally. The team management will decide. Atul Wasan criticized that he would have only taken the decision of where to hide in the field.
