Shreyas Was A Stand-out Candidate With Enough Experience Now, Tough Call On Surya, Says Agarkar
T20 World Cup: India chief selector Ajit Agarkar said Shreyas Iyer was a standout candidate with the experience to become the new mens T20I skipper, while admitting it was a tough call to move on altogether from Suryakumar Yadav despite him leading the team to winning the World Cup three months ago. Suryakumar, 35, has struggled with the bat in recent months, managing only 242 runs in nine T20 World Cup innings, with his unbeaten 84 against the United States the lone standout. His form dipped further in IPL 2026, where he scored just 270 runs in 13 innings at an average of 20.76 as Mumbai Indians finished ninth in the tenteam points table. With Shreyas taking over, Suryakumar has been totally omitted from the squads for tours of Ireland, England and the Asian Games. Iyer, 31, last played a T20I in December 2023 but boasts of strong captaincy credentials in the IPL. He led Kolkata Knight Riders to the title in 2024, guided Punjab Kings to a runnersup finish in 2025, and steered Delhi Capitals to the final in 2020. I mean, with regards to Shreyas, obviously, we've seen what he's done over the last few years, leading different franchises, obviously, won once, finals twice, and probably had a tougher season this year after a great start. So we've seen everything that a captain possibly can. His own performances have been really good. He was quite close to getting in that World Cup squad as well. Obviously, with Surya still there, there was no room for him. So he is, in my opinion, a standout candidate with enough experience now having led in the T20 format. This is obviously a different challenge, said Agarkar in the press conference at BCCI HQ on Saturday. On Suryakumars removal, Agarkar admitted it was a tough call. With regards to Surya, obviously, it's a tough one, having just won the World Cup. But as it happens, after most World Cups, you try and reassess what your best way forward is. Partly his own form, but also looking at the next twoyear cycle or a little bit more than two years now till the next World Cup. We thought this was the best way forward and like I said, Surya is a welldeserving captain. I mean, of course, it's a tough decision. Someone who's led you to the World Cup, it's not the easiest thing to try and change. But like I said, we've not had any international cricket after that World Cup. Partly the form, but partly also how we go forward is always at the back of your mind. Going ahead with a new captain, in this case, Shreyas, was in our opinion, added Agarkar. Tilak Varma has been named as the new vicecaptain and Agarkar stated it was another call made keeping the long-term vision in mind. I mean, Shubman Gill was vicecaptain leading into that World Cup when we made a call to obviously have two keepers at the top and he missed out. Then Axar Patel was vicecaptain and just replacing Shubman Gill. So, no, I think we were, again, like Shreyas Iyer, obviously you're looking at what's the best thing for the next twoyear cycle. Tilak, firstly, he's a terrific player and this gives him an opportunity to learn the job as well, just in case if that need arises ever. Further speaking on Shreyas and Tilak, Agarkar explained, It's, again, this is a clean slate almost. We played the World Cup in USA and Caribbean in 2024 June, and this was sort of February, March, which is not even two years really. But the next one, we've got a bit more time. Like I said, I think Shreyas absolutely deserves it with his performances, one, particularly with the bat. I think first, he should be good enough to be a player in the team. Then his performances as captain, and obviously, having won it once with, GG was with him at KKR, and then a couple of really good seasons with Punjab. So, no, it's perhaps a little bit unusual that he wasn't, but he was very close to always being in the team over the last couple of years. It's just that Surya and Tilak, the spots that he bats, were there, and he couldn't find a spot. So, now that he's found a spot, I think he's, like I said, he's earned it. On the conversation he had with Surya, Agarkar explained, You look at, obviously, the form in the last couple of years. But he was the captain, we were doing really well as him winning so many games, and eventually ending up winning the World Cup. Obviously, we deliberated a lot, especially when someone's led you to a World Cup win. So, no, it's perhaps a little bit unusual that he wasn't, but he was very close to always being in the team over the last couple of years. It's just that Surya and Tilak, the spots that he bats, were there, and he couldn't find a spot. So, now that he's found a spot, I think he's, like I said, he's earned it. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With regards to Sky, I don't think I don't want to give an insight. I mean, it's like a conversation between Surya and me. Look, we know he's been captain that's just won a World Cup. So it's not the easiest conversation when you want to tell the player that. But you're doing everything in the interest of what the team needs going forward, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Threats of sanctions against India would boomerang under PM Modi, says Putin
St Petersburg , June 6 : Russian President Vladimir Putin has strongly backed Indias strategic autonomy, asserting that any Western sanctions threats against New Delhi would boomerang immediately and affirming that the South Asian nation has consistently been guided by its national interests. The Russian president emphasised that India remains entirely free to select global products that they consider to be most up to date, most applicable for them and obviously offering the best price-quality ratio. Speaking at the annual St Petersburg International Economic Forum, President Putin lauded the robust trajectory of New Delhis global engagements. India always acts as a sovereign country and under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, any potential threats of sanctions would boomerang immediately. We have been in close talks with Prime Minister Modi for a long while. All the sanctions have been eliminated and the relationship between the USA and India is developing successfully, as I understand. India is free to choose the products that they consider to be most up to date, most applicable for them and obviously offering the best price-quality ratio. India is always guided by its national interests, Putin stated. The Russian president further underscored that Moscows extensive bilateral cooperation with New Delhi is not subject to the political environment, reiterating that the Kremlin remains unyielding in its geopolitical commitments. Our cooperation with India, just like with all other partners of ours, is not subject to the political environment. We cant be dictated to not deliver that to India. Nobody can dictate to us and nobody would even try to do that We will always stand true to commitments given to our partners, especially partners like India, Putin added. Highlighting the shifting dynamics of global economic governance, Putin observed that BRICS has overtaken the G7 in terms of sheer economic volume, while explicitly hailing India as a key partner owing to its pioneering advancements in the global IT and software sectors. According to Putin, developing economies are commanding an increasingly dominant share of the global financial ecosystem, contrasting sharply with the diminishing footprint of traditional Western powers.If you look at the global GDP dynamics of the last five years, you will see that almost half of its annual growth, 49%, is accounted for by BRICS countries, whereas the contribution of the so-called Group of Seven is estimated at 18%, Putin pointed out. He added that the share of BRICS in the world GDP, based on purchasing power parity, stands at 40%, whereas the G7 share is less than 29%.Detailing the expanding economic divergence between the blocs, the Russian President remarked, So BRICS has already overtaken the G7, and it did so back in 2020, but this gap is increasing. This gap is expected to grow in favour of BRICS. Putin projected a highly optimistic growth trajectory for the BRICS alliance in comparison to Western nations, noting that the G7 is going to grow at best by 1.1% per year, whereas BRICS nations are going to grow by more than 4%. Applauding Indias formidable prowess within the global digital landscape, Putin stated, Another of our key partners, India, is one of the leading players in the IT industry. The Russian president concluded by acknowledging Indias massive technological footprint, noting that the country accounts for a significant share of the global software market. (ANI)
