New Delhi.India has beaten Australia 2-1 in the Test series. Now it is the turn of the ODI series, which is starting from March 17. The first match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and the Indian team will take the field under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. For Pandya, this is not just a match, but also a path, which has been shown by Sunil Gavaskar. Former Indian veteran player Gavaskar says that Pandya can become the captain of the ODI team after this year’s World Cup, but he will have to beat Australia in the first ODI to claim it.
In fact, due to family reasons, Rohit will not be able to play the first ODI and Pandya will captain in his absence. The Indian all-rounder made Gujarat Titans the IPL champion in his debut season under his captaincy. He is already leading the Indian team in T20 format.

Pandya can be made captain
Talking to Star Sports, Gavaskar said that I am very impressed with his captaincy for Gujarat Titans and then for India in T20 cricket. The Indian veteran said that I believe that if Pandya wins the first ODI against Australia in Mumbai, he can seal his name as the Indian captain after the ODI World Cup is over.
pandya game changer player
Gavaskar said that Pandya can be a player with impact and game changer on the middle order. For Gujarat too, he used to come up top to bat when needed. Gavaskar praised Pandya and said that he is such a player who is ready to take responsibility. He leads the team from the front. He further said that while captaining, Pandya boosts the confidence of the players and then handles the situation.
