Just days after Mumbai Indians sacked Rohit Sharma as captain and named Hardik Pandya as their new leader, a report claims that the senior will lead India in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Quoting a BCCI official, news organisation Dainik Jagran reported that as far as the cricketing body is concerned, Sharma is still India's captain in all three formats.
Speculations were rife that following Hardik Pandya's succession in the IPL franchise, Sharma would lose his national captaincy as well.
However, the report went on to state that the 36-year-old is BCCI's first choice, seeing his leadership skills on display in the recently-concluded ODI World Cup where India finished runners-up.
