The first big act with Gambhir at the helm was Suryakumar Yadav being chosen to lead the T20I team in Sri Lanka. While he hasn't officially been announced as Rohit Sharma's successor as India's permanent captain in the shortest format, it is expected to stay this way going forward. Suryakumar pipped overwhelming favourite Hardik Pandya to take over the captaincy reins from an already-retired Rohit in T20Is. Gambhir's explanation of India's rationale behind passing the captaincy to Suryakumar instead of Hardik is much-anticipated in his first public address as the head coach.

Hardik's demotion as vice-captain elevated Shubman Gill to the deputy role at Team India across formats. Gill was declared India's vice-captain for the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka. The former world no.1 batter became the newest member of the leadership group in the build-up to Gambhir's appointment. Gill guided Team India to a 4-1 series win over Zimbabwe in his first assignment as T20I captain. Is the Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper next in line for all-format India captaincy?
