The Indian cricket team is currently facing very interesting situation where captain Surya Kumar Yadav is likely to be replaced with a new player. He is not just losing his captaincy position, but he is also reportedly losing his position in the entire Indian T20 team.

Once Surya Kumar Yadav gets removed as the full Time captain of the Indian T20 team, there will be multiple options that are available for the selector to pick from.

The obvious choices here are Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson, who had been in brilliant form in the IPL in the recent times. In particular, we have the case of Shreyas Iyer, who has been one of the most successful captains in the IPL, and has a strong batting performance to prove it.

So this would naturally bring us to the discussion about the possibility of appointing Iyer as the new captain of the T20 team. But at the same time, Sanju Samson has also been very strong with his performances for the Indian team in the recent past.

So we have to patiently wait and see who would be the next obvious choice for the Indian T20 team captain position as there is going to be a lot of debate happening on this matter.

Shreyas is the obvious prime choice for the position now, but we have to see if the selectors would go for some other option, including Sanju Samson at the last minute.
