Indian cricket's illustrious past-time, Kapil Dev, has weighed in on the leadership squabble. He believes that even if the results don't go his way, the selectors should give Hardik Pandya their entire support if they are considering him to be the next captain of India. Hardik is confident that with the right assistance, he can succeed as a leader and take Indian cricket to new heights, Kapil Dev said. When the Mumbai native decides to put up his cleats, the 29-year-old cricketer is expected to be the favourite to succeed Rohit Sharma as India's ODI captain. Over the past several years, Hardik Pandya has distinguished himself as one of the Indian cricket team's most promising players, and he is now seen as a potential future leader. The statement that Hardik Pandya will be fired if he lost one series is inappropriate. For someone to start performing, you must give them a pretty long rope if you make them a captain, Kapil Dev said. After helping the Gujarat Titans win the IPL for the first time in 2022, Hardik's reputation as a captain improved. India's current captain, Rohit Sharma, has an outstanding track record in international T20 games. Although he has never lost a series while leading India, the team's failure to claim the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup has cast doubt on his track record.
