Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title this year. India defeated South Africa in the final of this tournament and won the title. After this final, this will be the first T20 match between the two teams.
The team will have a new coach and a new captain.
But now the Indian team will enter this series with a new captain and a new coach. Actually, Rohit Sharma retired (from the T20 format) only after the World Cup. After this, Surya was named permanent captain of the Indian team in T20.
On the other hand, instead of Gautam Gambhir, VVS Laxman will take charge of the coaching in this T20 series. The reason for this is that Gambhir was busy in the New Zealand Test series. Now it is his turn to embark on a tour of Australia, where a five-match test series will be played.
