'Shreyas The Frontrunner To Succeed Suryakumar As T20I Captain', Feels Ex-selector Gandhi
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India cricketer and national selector Devang Gandhi believes Shreyas Iyer is a frontrunner to succeed Suryakumar Yadav as the next mens T20I captain, saying his IPL-winning pedigree with Kolkata Knight Riders and his more recent success in leading Punjab Kings makes him the most deserving candidate at the moment. The biggest call before the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee when they meet in Mumbai on Saturday to select Indias squad for the T20Is against Ireland and England is whether to persist with Suryakumar Yadav as Indias T20I captain. Suryakumar, who was made Indias T20I captain after Rohit Sharma retired post the 2024 T20 World Cup win, scripted history by leading India to a successful defence of the title at home this year. But his own batting has remained under the scanner - in IPL 2026, Suryakumar amassed only 270 runs in 13 innings at 20.76, striking at 147.54. Even in the World Cup, Suryakumar managed to make 242 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 136.72, with his lone standout being an unbeaten 84 against the USA in Mumbai that fetched him the PlayeroftheMatch award. With Suryakumar turning 36 in September, the selectors now face a huge choice - retain him as the captain purely for his experience or look towards a new leader for the next two-year cycle especially with India also scheduled to play in the Los Angeles Olympics and enter the 2028 T20 World Cup as defending champions. I think the Olympics are two years hence. Are the selectors looking at him for two years hence? So, that's the big question. See, the competition is pretty stiff. Everybody has to be performing and there are so many players who are performing. Shreyas has been doing well. Then Rajat Patidar has been doing well. Surya, once he has come and from the last two years, he's been phenomenal (as captain). So, there are always slots up for grabs. Somebody is always waiting in the wings. Most importantly, the way Surya has batted, I think that is a matter of concern. But going ahead, yes, I think we need to move on now, Gandhi said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Friday. Asked who was best placed to take over, Gandhi was unequivocal in his backing for Shreyas, pointing to the IPL title he won with KKR as the clearest proof of his leadership credentials. Apart from leading KKR to the IPL title in 2024, Iyer guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to the finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. He also captained Mumbai to winning the 2024/25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Iyer, the vice-captain in ODIs, wasnt in the T20I set-up for the previous World Cup cycle, though he was in the squad for the series win over New Zealand as a replacement for injured Tilak Varma. See, we always want a captain who has a fair amount of experience, whether it is international experience or a successful IPL experience. So, I think Shreyas, the way he has led Punjab and even before that, captaining KKR - he had a fantastic run as they won the IPL under his captaincy. I think he is at the moment the frontrunner and quite deservingly, if he gets an opportunity, I think it will be fine, he said. On who should serve as vice-captain, Gandhi favoured Ishan Kishan over other contenders, citing his consistency around the squad setup and recent form. Kishan, who was a vital contributor in India winning the T20 World Cup, captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pat Cummins absence during IPL 2026 after previously leading Jharkhand to the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph. I think somebody who is a permanent feature - like Tilak, who has just been around the team. But the way Ishan has done well, I think he can be his deputy as well. So, I think in my opinion, I would favour Ishan Kishan, he said. Asked on whether experience, current form or long-term vision should be the primary criterion for picking the next T20I captain, Gandhi said the current selectors need to strike a balance across all three aspects while making the decision. It's a balance of all three. I mean, to be honest, who is going to lead till the next T20 World Cup. If you just have a longer vision, at least for two years at least or three years, who is going to be your next captain? Asked on whether experience, current form or long-term vision should be the primary criterion for picking the next T20I captain, Gandhi said the current selectors need to strike a balance across all three aspects while making the decision. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But if you look at a pattern, you will understand whether he's led his side, whether just for any franchisee or whether just for a day, you get an idea whether he has the leadership qualities or not. So you have to keep those things in mind and based on that, you take a call on who is the guy to take Indian cricket forward, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Nicole Junkermann Highlights India as Key Market for Sports Format Innovation
T20 cricket didn't emerge from a boardroom in London or a sports science lab in the United States. It emerged because India demanded it. Shorter. Faster. More suited to the attention patterns of a young, mobile, time-compressed audience. It then became one of the most valuable sporting formats ever created, exported globally and imitated across other sports. Investor Nicole Junkermann highlights Indias role in shaping future sports formats That wasn't an accident. It was a consequence of market conditions. And those conditions, Nicole Junkermann argues, are more present in India today than anywhere else in the world. " The markets that produce format innovation aren't always the biggest or the richest. They're the ones with the right combination of audience appetite, digital infrastructure and low attachment to the way things have always been done. India has all three. It had them when T20 happened. It still has them now, across a much broader range of sports ." Nicole Junkermann, founder of NJF Holdings and Gameday by NJF Holdings, has developed her view on format innovation through Gameday's work in professional sports leagues across Europe, most notably its partnership with Lega Volley Femminile in Italy, where the platform has supported a significant transformation in how a traditional league reaches and engages modern audiences. The experience has sharpened her thinking on what makes certain markets generative and others imitative. What makes a market produce innovation Junkermann identifies three structural conditions that tend to produce sports format disruption rather than replication. Audience sophistication without legacy loyalty. Indian sports fans are deeply knowledgeable and intensely engaged, but outside cricket and one or two other sports, haven't spent decades attached to a single format. That creates genuine openness to new propositions. A fan in Manchester has forty years of expectations about what a football match looks like. A fan in Mumbai watching the ISL in its early seasons does not. That difference matters more than it appears. Mobile-first infrastructure that determines what works. India's sports audiences access content almost entirely through mobile devices. That shapes what succeeds: shorter windows, interactive features, creator-led storytelling, real-time participation. Formats designed for television audiences require significant adaptation. Formats designed for mobile audiences from the start look different, and India's market provides the clearest signal anywhere for what that means in practice. Commercial conditions that reward experimentation. The IPL demonstrated that new formats can generate extraordinary value very quickly. That proof of concept has made India's sporting ecosystem more willing to try things than more conservative markets. The cost of failure is lower. The upside case is highly visible. That changes the risk calculus for everyone involved. What to watch Junkermann sees three areas where India's market conditions are most likely to produce something genuinely new in the near term. Women's leagues designed for digital audiences from day one. New women's leagues in India can be built with creator ecosystems, direct fan access and mobile distribution as primary channels rather than treating broadcast as the default and digital as an afterthought. That's a fundamentally different product architecture, and it's only available to new entrants. Established men's leagues in Europe have spent years trying to retrofit it. Fan participation integrated into the live experience. India's fantasy sports and gaming market is one of the largest in the world. Leagues that build prediction, participation and personalisation into the live event itself, rather than treating them as adjacent products, may produce something that doesn't yet have a name. The technology exists. The audience appetite is demonstrable. The format hasn't arrived yet. Creator-first content distribution. India's creator economy is enormous and sports-adjacent content is among its fastest-growing categories. Leagues that treat creator partnerships as primary distribution infrastructure rather than a marketing channel gain direct access to engaged audiences without dependence on broadcast intermediaries. That changes the economics of reaching fans in ways that haven't been fully explored. " The interesting question isn't whether India will produce the next format innovation in sport. It's which sport, and which league will be positioned to capture it when it happens. The conditions are structural. The timing is harder to predict ." Why format travels Nicole Junkermann is clear that format innovation doesnt stay where it starts. T20 may have originated in England, but India transformed it into a global phenomenon. The formats that emerge from Indias current market conditions, whatever they turn out to be, are likely to travel for the same reason: theyll be built for the audiences the rest of the worlds sports markets are increasingly trying to reach. Mobile-first, creator-adjacent, participation-oriented sport isn't an Indian preference. It's a generational one. India is simply the market where the conditions to develop it are most concentrated right now. Nicole Junkerman adds," Every major format shift in sport has started somewhere specific before it became universal. T20 became a global cultural and commercial phenomenon in India. The next one might too. The underlying logic is the same: build for the audience that exists, not the one that used to ." About Gameday by NJF Holdings Gameday by NJF Holdings is a sports investment and strategic platform founded by Nicole Junkermann. Focused on building long-term value across leagues, media and sports technology, its approach centres on structural growth, digital transformation and scalable fan ecosystems.

T20 Mumbai League: Shreyas Iyer Credits Fielding For Mumbai Falcons' Victory Over MSC Maratha Royals
SOBO Mumbai Falcons: SOBO Mumbai Falcons' star player Shreyas Iyer on Thursday gave credit to their fielding and the comeback with the ball after the Power-play, which helped them register their first victory of the T20 Mumbai League 2026, overcoming MSC Maratha Royals by three wickets in a contest that swung dramatically before being settled in the final over at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Mumbai Falcons came back strongly with the ball and restricted Maratha Royals to 152/9 in 20 overs with Akash Parkar (3-22) and Yash Dicholkar (3-25) claiming three wickets each. Chasing 153, Aditya Tare (42) and Shreyas Iyer (30) shared a crucial partnership to help Mumbai Falcons to a three-wicket victory. It was an exciting game. The highlight of the game was our fielding - the way we took catches, the stops, and also the comeback after the sixth over. That was crucial for us. It changed the momentum and restricted them to 150. Looking at the scoreboard and the wicket, I thought it would be a comfortable chase, Iyer said after the match at the Wankhede Stadium. Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Tare set the tone with an aggressive 42 off just 19 deliveries, while Ishan Mulchandani chipped in with a composed 29 as the pair stitched together a 57-run opening stand. The momentum continued when India batter Shreyas Iyer entered as the Impact Player and immediately made his presence felt. Mixing timing with power, Iyer struck 30 off 24 balls, including two boundaries and two sixes, helping the Falcons surge to 106/2 by the 12th over and seemingly putting the chase beyond doubt. However, the match took an unexpected turn after Iyer's dismissal. The Royals mounted a spirited comeback, striking regularly and reducing the Falcons from a position of comfort to a state of uncertainty. Four wickets fell for just 21 runs as the pressure shifted onto the chasing side and hopes of a Royals revival grew.

Removing Suryakumar Yadav As T20I Captain At This Stage May Not Be Right, Says MSK Prasad
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India wicketkeeper and chief selector MSK Prasad on Thursday cautioned against removing Suryakumar Yadav as captain of the mens T20I side, saying such a move at this stage would not be the right one and that selectors should instead look to groom younger leaders from now onwards. Despite a few halfcenturies in the bilateral series against New Zealand earlier this year and a matchwinning knock in the T20 World Cup opening game against the USA, consistency has eluded Suryakumar. After India won the T20 World Cup under his leadership, Suryakumars form dipped further in IPL 2026, where he managed only 270 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 147.54, with just two fifties. With Indias selectors set to meet in Mumbai on Saturday for selecting squads for the two games against Ireland, to be played on June 26 and 28, followed by five T20Is in England from July 1 to 11, apart from picking India A squad for the two red-ball games against Sri Lanka A, Suryakumars future as the T20I captain will be a hot topic of discussion. See, are you sending your first team or are you sending your second level? That's the biggest concern. So, if they are sending the first team, I think overlooking Surya is not the right thing to do because he just handed over one more Mens T20 World Cup to us. So, ideally, probably next 56 months or now you have to get ready with your next leaders, right? Axar Patel was your vicecaptain till the T20 World Cup win. Ideally, if you look at it, you have to look forward to the younger leaders. So, if you can identify such leaders and make a deputy to Surya, it will be nice to see. Surya is a phenomenal player, Prasad told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Thursday. Prasad admitted that Suryakumar has endured a lean patch but urged patience towards him. I know that he has gone through a rough patch in the last 11.5 years. Of course, we have other players like Rajat Patidar coming up, and they also deserve their places. So, what I would like to say is that, removing Surya at this stage, I think, is not the right signal. Give him a couple of series, and if his lean patch continues, then you have a deputy to whom you can hand over the captaincy baton. On possible successors of Suryakumar like Shreyas Iyer, the ODI vice-captain, and Hardik Pandya, apart from Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma in the mix, Prasad said, See, Hardik is one potential candidate. Then, Shreyas is another potential candidate, too. People like Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma, and Sanju Samson are also in line. See, Sanju has led RR for quite some time. Ishan has led recently, and he showed glimpses of class in his captaincy. Tilak Verma is a potential guy. We think that Tilak Verma is the guy and the answer for the next few years for Indian cricket in T20 formats. So, he is not a bad choice, too. Rajat Patidar (who led RCB to back-to-back IPL titles) is also one of those. I don't know whether its from a captaincy point of view, but he is definitely a guy who should be looked into. So, you have enough ammunition with you. But are you sending your first eleven or are you sending your, maybe, probably the second eleven? Shreyas, the frontrunner to succeed Suryakumar, comes with proven captaincy credentials - having led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title in 2024 and guiding Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to the finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. Kishan captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pat Cummins absence during IPL 2026 after earlier leading Jharkhand to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph. Varma, meanwhile, has been a regular leader for India A in whiteball cricket and is set to captain them in the upcoming 50over triseries in Sri Lanka starting June 9. Samson has previously led Rajasthan Royals to the runnersup spot in IPL 2022 and was adjudged Player of the Tournament in Indias T20 World Cup win. Pandya, who has captained India in Rohit Sharmas absence, also guided the Gujarat Titans to the IPL crown in 2022, though his leadership stint with the Mumbai Indians has not been that memorable. Prasad further suggested giving some players a break who featured in both the World Cup and IPL for the trips to Ireland and England. If you see, after the World Cup, all the players who played in the World Cup looked jaded and exhausted in the IPL. So, why don't you give a break to all those World Cup players and give opportunities to those who have performed in this IPL? So, in that way, you hand over that baton to Shreyas Iyer or XYZ and whoever is seen as a future leader. I think Shreyas is definitely a potential guy. So, you make and send them to Ireland because I am sure that they can beat Ireland. So, give a break to them because this IPL has been a very, very hot summer, and immediately after the World Cup. Prasad further suggested giving some players a break who featured in both the World Cup and IPL for the trips to Ireland and England. If you see, after the World Cup, all the players who played in the World Cup looked jaded and exhausted in the IPL.
