New Vice-Captain Appointed for India in T20 World Cup 2024? Explosive Report Emerges

In IPL 2024, Rishabh Pant made an impressive comeback after his near-fatal car accident in December 2022, while Hardik Pandya struggled as both a batter and bowler. Many experts have questioned Pandya’s ability to lead the Mumbai Indians side. The national selectors are expected to consider re-appointing Pant as the vice-captain of India, a position he held before his injury hiatus.

Pant had also captained India in the five-match T20I series against South Africa in June 2022 and will be the first-choice wicketkeeper for the T20 World Cup in June. Both cricketers have performed well in the IPL 2024, and it will come down to the selectors’ preferences. The report suggests that it is unlikely for Yuzvendra Chahal, the highest wicket-taker in the IPL, to be considered.
