The former Indian batsman also compared Pandya to cricketing greats like MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev.
When the legendary cricketer Rohit Sharma decides to hang up his boots, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are reportedly the front-runners to become India’s next ODI captain. Although Rohit, 38, has stated that he is keen to captain India in the 2027 ODI World Cup, some fans are doubtful of his future due to his form and level of fitness.
He is the captain of a team. I see glimmers of MS Dhoni in him.
Even though Shubman has seized the lead as India’s captain in red-ball cricket, Shreyas may pose a serious threat to him in the ODI captaincy. Nonetheless, Hardik Pandya can succeed as the Indian team’s captain in white-ball cricket, according to Suresh Raina.
“Gill Shubman. But they make a decision. Gill over Iyer, any day. I continue to believe that Hardik Pandya will perform wonders in white-ball cricket. as a white-ball cricket captain. Gill may be. He ought to be. He has Kapil Paaji’s experience. He is a really upbeat person. During an interview on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, Raina stated, “I like how he conducts himself on the field.”
Raina names the CSK XI of all time.
Raina was a key contributor to the Chennai Super Kings’ five Indian Premier League (IPL) championships. He was asked to list the Men in Yellow’s ideal starting lineup. Raina gave left-arm spinner Shadab Jakati particular recognition as he named his all-time XI.
Albie Morkel, Doug Bollinger, Suresh Raina, Subramaniam Badrinath, Murali Vijay, Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey, Shadab Jakati, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, L Balaji, and Mohit Sharma. “I would retain Muralitharan Sir if you’re looking for an impact player,” Raina stated.
“Shadab Jakati was the X-factor, in my opinion; he was overlooked. When we won in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, he did a fantastic job. He performed remarkably well, regardless of our qualifications,” he continued.
