Earlier it was reported that Hardik Pandya might be the pick as he was the Vice Captain for the World Cup. However, things took a big turn with the emergence of Surya Kumar Yadav's name.

Media reports are abuzz that Surya Kumar Yadav is also in the race for captaincy as either SKY or Hardik Pandya would be picked. This came as a big surprise as no one expected that SKY would be in the race.
