Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar expects a few retirements after India were knocked out of the ICC T20 World Cup on Thursday, 10 November by England. India fell to a 10-wicket defeat at Adelaide after a meek display by both bat and ball. Defending 169 runs against a tall England batting line-up, Rohit Sharma and his men failed to contain the openers – Jos Buttler and Alex Hales, who combined to hit 170 runs in just 16 overs of the game.

Gavaskar, speaking after the game said that he expected several changes in the line-up and further added that Hardik Pandya will be taking over the Indian team after the World Cup.

“Having won the Indian Premier League on his first assignment as the captain, they would have marked Hardik Pandya out as the next captain. Hardik Pandya will definitely take over the team in the future and there will be some retirements, you never know. Players will be giving it a lot of thought. There are several players in their mid-30s who will be reconsidering their position in the Indian T20I team,” Gavaskar said. (NDTV)
