'Very Happy For Shreyas': Suryakumar Reacts To Iyer Becoming India T20I Captain
Former India T20I: Former India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has welcomed Shreyas Iyer's appointment as the new skipper of the men's T20I side, saying he was very, very, very happy for his long-time Mumbai teammate and describing the development as a proud moment for Mumbai cricket. Hours after being replaced as captain by Shreyas, Suryakumar came face-to-face with the newly-appointed India skipper during a T20 Mumbai League fixture on Saturday. Suryakumar led Triumph Knights MNE, while Shreyas was part of the SoBo Mumbai Falcons setup as an Impact Substitute. The two Mumbai stalwarts shared a warm hug before the start of the match, reflecting the bond they have built over years of playing together for Mumbai and India. Speaking at the toss, Suryakumar put aside any personal disappointment and congratulated Shreyas on taking charge of the national T20 side. As you said, so many things are happening, but obviously very, very, very happy for Shreyas as he's getting to lead the T20 Indian team. We played a lot of cricket together in Bombay. The most important thing, what I felt, is that three back-to-back Mumbai captains are going to lead T20s for India. I think it's a very proud moment, and everyone needs to celebrate that, Suryakumar said. The comments marked Suryakumar's first public reaction to Shreyas' appointment after the BCCI announced sweeping changes to India's T20I setup earlier in the day. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar had acknowledged that removing Suryakumar from the captaincy was a difficult decision, especially after he guided India to the T20 World Cup title earlier this year. However, the selectors opted for a fresh leadership direction with an eye on the next World Cup cycle, citing Shreyas' strong leadership credentials and consistent performances across formats. Earlier in the day, Suryakumar had also taken to social media to wish the Indian team success, posting a picture of the squad on his Instagram story with the message: Wishing this highly skilled group all the best for challenges ahead.

Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals: Tushar Deshpande produced a sensational all-round performance to guide Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals to a 25-run victory over Bandra Blasters in the T20 Mumbai League 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. Tushar emerged as the difference-maker, first rescuing the Royals with an unbeaten 55 off just 25 balls before returning figures of 2/12 in three overs. His all-round effort proved decisive as the Royals successfully defended 203/8. Chasing the target, the Blasters were led by their top order. Skipper Suved Parkar continued his fine form with 56 off 40 balls, his third half-century of the tournament, along with a century earlier in the season. Prateek Ravishankar provided early momentum with a brisk 47 off 22 deliveries along with Parkar, while Jay Jain added a quickfire 46 off 23 balls. The trio kept Bandra in the hunt for most of the chase, but once they were dismissed, the innings quickly lost momentum. The middle and lower order failed to build on the platform, with eight batters managing single-digit scores as Bandra were bowled out for 178 in 17.5 overs, thanks to some quality bowling by the Royals. Earlier, the Royals had slipped to 36/3 inside the first five overs after being asked to bat. Ayaz Khan (31) and Chinmay Sutar (31) made useful contributions but failed to convert their starts. With wickets falling regularly, Tushar played a brilliant rescue act, smashing six sixes in his unbeaten knock and sharing a crucial 73-run stand with Rohan Raje (28), lifting the Royals to a strong total.

Suryakumar Responds To Captaincy Axe With Message For Team India, Congratulates Vaibhav
T20 World Cup: India's T20 World Cup winner Suryakumar Yadav has broken his silence after being removed as the men's T20I captain, extending his best wishes to the national team and congratulating teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on earning his maiden international call-up. Hours after the BCCI announced Shreyas Iyer as India's new T20I captain and left Suryakumar out of the squads for the upcoming tours of Ireland, England, and the Asian Games, the 35-year-old took to social media for the first time. In an Instagram story, Suryakumar shared a photograph of the Indian team and wrote, Wishing this highly skilled group all the best for the challenges ahead. The brief message came shortly after chief selector Ajit Agarkar described the decision to move on from Suryakumar as captain as a ough one, despite him leading India to the T20 World Cup title earlier this year. With regards to Surya, obviously, it's a tough one, having just won the World Cup. Someone who's led you to the World Cup, it's not the easiest thing to try and change, Agarkar said in the press conference. Suryakumars recent struggles with the bat also influenced the decision. The 35-year-old endured a lean T20 World Cup campaign and followed it up with a disappointing IPL 2026 season, scoring 270 runs in 13 innings as the Mumbai Indians finished ninth. Suryakumar also reserved special praise for 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was named in India's T20I squad on Saturday following a sensational IPL campaign. Sharing a separate message on social media, Suryakumar wrote, You have earned it and how. Super excited to follow your journey.

Shreyas Iyer replaces Suryakumar Yadav as Indias T20I Captain
By NE NOW NEWS Guwahati: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has handed the captaincy of the mens T20I team to Shreyas Iyer, marking a beginning of a new era in the shortest format. The announcement was made in Mumbai on Saturday by chief selector Ajit Agarkar alongside BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia. [] The post Shreyas Iyer replaces Suryakumar Yadav as Indias T20I Captain appeared first on NorthEast Now .
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

Tajpur Celebrates With Laddus And Crackers As Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Earns India Callup
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The village of Tajpur in Bihars Samastipur district turned into a festive mood on Saturday afternoon as teenaged left-handed batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi earned a maiden call-up to Indias squads for the T20I tours of Ireland and England, as well as the Asian Games in Japan. As soon as Sooryavanshis name was announced in all three squads by BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia at the boards headquarters in Mumbai, it sparked jubilant scenes, with neighbours, relatives and people in the village thronging to his home, distributing laddus and even bursting crackers. With everyone gathering at Sooryavanshis residence to congratulate his family and soak in the joy of him earning a spot in the Indian team, his father Sanjeev Sooryavanshi has since been on cloud nine. We were at home and were waiting for something good to happen. We were very happy when the announcement was made. Our entire family, people in the society and village came to our home to congratulate us. Everyone distributed sweets and laddus, while crackers were even burst. We are very, very happy. Vaibhav has worked very hard since childhood for this his aim to play for the country. Today, he has got the reward of his hard work and will get the saubhagya (the good fortune) to play for his country. We are very, very happy for him, Sanjeev told IANS in an exclusive conversation, even as visitors continued to arrive at his home. Sooryavanshi, who smashed 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30 for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, including hitting 72 sixes. He will first feature for India A in the 50-over triseries in Sri Lanka from June 9 to 21 before joining the senior side. If he debuts in Ireland or England, he will become the first India player to play international cricket before turning 16. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut for India in 1989 at 16 years and 205 days while his ODI debut came at 16 years and 238 days. As of now, Washington Sundar is India's youngest T20I debutant at 18 years and 80 days. With the first half of 2026 seeing him garner praise from Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill Sanjeev said he had sensed the breakthrough coming for Sooryavanshi. Yes, I strongly felt it that he may get a callup to the senior team this time. Its because the way he played in England, Australia in the U19 games, then in South Africa and the U19 World Cup win, it was just outstanding. Moreover, he did well in the Emerging Asia Cup in Qatar and this years IPL too. Keeping all of that in mind, I had a feeling that it would be all good for Vaibhav. The selectors of BCCI have shown confidence in Vaibhav and we are very happy and thank them for showing their faith in him, added the elated father. Amidst the joy of celebrating Vaibhavs call-up to the India T20I set-up, Sanjeev recalled about the time the teenager first picked up a bat as a five-year-old kid. The spark he showed while batting was enough for cricketloving Sanjeev to throw himself into the grind, sacrifice and grit needed to shape Vaibhav into an international cricketer. For years, his father Sanjeev accompanied him every other day from their home to coach Manish Ojhas Gen Next Academy in Sampatchak area of Patna. The oneway journey was of nearly twoandahalf hours, but Sanjay would do it for the sake of Vaibhavs cricketing future, while his mother Aarti Singh would wake up at 3 am to ensure her son carried homemade food to the academy. Every parent in the world does a lot of hardwork for their child. I have also been doing a lot of hardwork since childhood for Vaibhav. He was five years old when I started for him to play cricket. He and I both worked very hard. When he was 8, 9, and 10 years old, I got him to play matches and felt that he had something different in him in comparison to others. From there, he began to play a lot and even used to play in the senior team too. Seeing that, I felt that he had it in him to play at a higher level Every parent in the world does a lot of hardwork for their child. I have also been doing a lot of hardwork since childhood for Vaibhav. He was five years old when I started for him to play cricket. He and I both worked very hard. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The sacrifices bore fruit when, at just 12, Sooryavanshi became the youngest player to feature in Ranji Trophy and a year later, became the youngest player to get an IPL deal. Now with Vaibhav set to don the blue jersey, Sanjeev signed off by saying, Bas aashirwad dijiye, bahut acha karega aagey. Bas aashirwad dijiye (Just keep giving your blessing, as the boy will do well in future. Just keep giving him blessings). Article Source: IANS

Sooryavanshi Earns Maiden Callup For T20I Tours Of Ireland, England And Asian Games
Indian T20I: Teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has earned a maiden call-up to the Indian T20I team for the tours of Ireland, England and the Asian Games. With Shreyas Iyer appointed as Indias new T20I captain, he replaces Suryakumar Yadav, who has been left out of all three squads. Shreyas was quite close to getting into that T20 World Cup squad. It was a tough call on Suryakumar Yadav, but you need to reassess your plan moving forward. Shreyas is a well-deserving captain. He is a standout candidate with enough experience. I talked to most people, particularly when it comes to a captain who has won the World Cup. We had that chat. We debated it a lot, not the easiest discussion especially if you've won the WC. At some stage, we would've discussed. Shreyas playing as well as he has made the decision easier, said chief selector Ajit Agarkar in the press conference. India will play two T20Is in Belfast on June 26 and 28, followed by five matches in England from July 1 to 11. They will also play in the Mens T20 event at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, in September. Suryakumar, 35, had captained India to a successful defence of the T20 World Cup title in March, but his prolonged lean patch was always a concern. He managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76, while his World Cup returns 242 runs at a strike rate of 136.72 were modest. With the next T20 World Cup scheduled for 2028, the selectors felt the time was right to move on and make Shreyas the sides captain, while Tilak Varma is appointed as the vice-captain. Shubman Gill was vice-captain leading into World Cup. But when we decided to have two keepers he missed out. Axar Patel was vice-captain, but we're looking at what's best for the next two-year cycle. Tilak is a terrific player, and it gives him an opportunity to learn on the job, added Agarkar. Shreyas, 31, returns to the T20I fold after making his last appearance coming in December 2023. Though he was part of the squad against New Zealand earlier this year, he did not feature in the playing eleven. With him coming in, hes now expected to bat at number four, a position held previously by Suryakumar. Sooryavanshis inclusion is equally eyecatching, after being Player of the Final and Player of the Tournament in the 2026 U19 Mens Cricket World Cup triumph. The Rajasthan Royals batter smashed 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30 in IPL 2026, and has now become the youngest player picked in an India mens squad since Sachin Tendulkar in 1989. Before the senior T20I tours, he will feature for India A in the triseries in Sri Lanka from June 9 to 21. Vaibhav's performances - he almost forced us to pick him. I know he's young, but two IPLs in a row, and we also know what he did at the Under-19 level. We can all see the kind of talent he has. We're hopeful if and when he gets an opportunity, he shows the same ability. There will be tougher challenges but he has shown great promise and temperament. We're all as hopeful as everyone is. He has picked himself through his own performances, added Agarkar. Seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, undergoing rehab for a meniscus tear surgery done in March, is back again, so as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Fast bowler Prince Yadav, who had an impactful time in IPL 2026, is included on tours of Ireland and England, while Jasprit Bumrah will come in for him in the Asian Games squad. There will be tougher challenges but he has shown great promise and temperament. We're all as hopeful as everyone is. He has picked himself through his own performances, added Agarkar.

Shreyas Replaces Suryakumar As India T20 Captain; Sooryavanshi In For England, Ireland Series
MUMBAI, Jun 6: Winds of change swept across Indias T20I set-up as Shreyas Iyer on Saturday took over the captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav, and wonder kid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi found a place in the squad for the twin tour of Ireland and England.

Shreyas Iyer Replaces Suryakumar Yadav As Indias New T20I Captain
His T20 World Cup: The chatter over the last few days on the future of India mens T20I captaincy has been finally made clear at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Saturday. In a decisive shift at the top, Shreyas Iyer has replaced Suryakumar Yadav as India's T20I captain, with his first assignment being the tours of Ireland and England. India will play two T20Is in Dublin on June 26 and 28, followed by a fivematch series in England from July 1 to 11. With Shreyas, the ODI vice-captain, at the helm of the T20I side, it marks the start of a new chapter for India in the shortest format, especially with the Los Angeles Olympics and the next Mens T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand happening in 2028. The spotlight ahead of Saturdays selection meeting and announcement was firmly on the Mens T20I captaincy question, with Suryakumar Yadavs prolonged lean patch forcing the selectors and team managements hand to look towards the future and finalise Shreyas as the new leader of the side in the shortest format. It is understood that possibilities of keeping Suryakumar as captain till England tour were explored, while Hardik Pandya was also believed to be in the fray for the leadership role. But Shreyas demonstrating astute leadership skills, and him earning the unanimous respect of all people in the dressing room in either IPL or domestic cricket, combined with Suryakumars extended woeful run and him turning 36 in September helped him get the nod of forward looking decision makers as Indias next leader in T20Is. Suryakumar, who led India to a historic defence of the Mens T20 World Cup title on home soil in March, managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76. His T20 World Cup returns 242 runs at a strike rate of 136.72 were also modest. On the other hand, Iyers elevation to the T20I captaincy is a remarkable turnaround. He was out of Indias T20I plans after December 2023, and has now forced his way back through consistent IPL performances and strong leadership credentials. He led Kolkata Knight Riders to clinching the 2024 IPL title, and guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to IPL finals in 2020 and 2025, apart from leading Mumbai to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win in 2024/25. Suryakumar, who led India to a historic defence of the Mens T20 World Cup title on home soil in March, managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score It is also the second successive instance of an Indian captain being replaced soon after lifting an ICC trophy. In 2025, Rohit Sharma led India to the Champions Trophy triumph in March, but was replaced by Shubman Gill as the ODI captain before India toured Australia in October. For now, June 6 will be remembered as the day India signalled its intent for moving into the future by making Shreyas the T20I captain. Article Source: IANS
