- India will play a five-match series on the Kiwi tour. Now let’s know what will be the team of Team India for the series against New Zealand
Team India:
The Indian team is currently playing a four-match T20 series against South Africa. All these series are important in terms of preparing India’s young T20 team under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav after the retirement of Virat Kohli, Rohit and Ravindra Jadeja. The next big T20 event will be played in February 2026.
After this, there is bound to be a change in the T20 team. After the T20 World Cup 2026, a five-match T20 series is to be played against England. Then there is a three-match series against Afghanistan and after that a five-match series will be played on the Kiwi tour. Now let’s know what will be the team of Team India for the series against New Zealand…
Shubman Gill may get the captaincy
Let us tell you that according to the FTB window, after the T20 World Cup 2026, Team India has to tour New Zealand after England and Afghanistan. On this tour, the Indian team will play a five-match T20 series. If we talk about India’s captaincy on this tour, then there may be a change in the team with blue jersey.
Some other player may get the captaincy in place of Suryakumar Yadav. Because Surya is currently 34 years old and by 2026 he will be 36 years old. In such a situation, it is impossible for him to remain the captain till the next T20.
These 7 all-rounders will get a chance
Therefore, the Indian team would like to prepare a young captain under the guidance of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, there is a possibility that Shubman Gill can captain all the T20 matches after the World Cup. He can also represent India against New Zealand. That is, he can also lead India (Team India) in the series against New Zealand.
Apart from them, if we talk about other players, BCCI can give chance to 7 all-rounders. These include Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ramandeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey and Tilak Verma.
