NEW DELHI, July 22: Fitness, feedback from the dressing room and consistent availability swung the pendulum in Suryakumar Yadav's favour when it was decided to appoint him captain of the Indian T20 team ahead of Hardik Pandya, chief selector Ajit Agarkar said here on Monday.
Agarkar was addressing a media conference along with newly-appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of India's tour of Sri Lanka where the team will play three T20 Internationals and as many ODIs against the hosts starting July 27.
"Fitness was a clear challenge and we wanted someone who was likely to be available more often," Agarkar said during the joint press conference.
"He is one of the best T20 batters and as captain, he is likely to play all the games. We think he is a deserving captain and we will see how he fits into the role."
Regarding star all-rounder Pandya, Agarkar said, "Hardik's skill-sets are difficult to find and fitness is difficult to find. We have got a bit more time and we can look at a few things.
