Surya Kumar Yadav, who led India to victory at the T20 World Cup, has been handed the captaincy of Mumbai for upcoming domestic tournaments. The aggressive batter will captain the side in both the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy, marking a significant role in Indian domestic cricket.
The appointment comes after Surya Kumar was rested from the Ranji Trophy squad last month. His focus now shifts to white-ball cricket at the domestic level, where he will seek to guide Mumbai towards trophies in both T20 and ODI formats.
The 34-year-old has established himself as a key figure in India's T20 setup and brings considerable experience to the captaincy role. His appointment underscores the Board of Control for Cricket in India's confidence in his leadership abilities as he transitions from international duty to domestic responsibilities.
