The stunning performance of the two most successful skippers this IPL season have set experts to weigh in on whether they are possible contenders for future Team India captaincy

“India will be looking closely at the newcomers who will be captaining teams… It is a great opportunity for selectors to see how these youngsters captain their sides because India will be looking for a solid captain for the future.”
- Ravi Shastri

“Hardik Pandya surprised us at how comfortable he looked in a leadership role captaining Gujarat Titans (GT). If you are leading a team in the IPL, you can lead Team India.”
- Sanjay Manjrekar

What the former India coach and the star commentator said, one before and the other after the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL), has deeper resonance in the context of where Indian cricket finds itself right now.
