Shafali, Jemimah Prepared To Take Over India T20I Captaincy, Says Mithali Raj
India T20I: Former India captain Mithali Raj on Friday has backed youngsters Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues as future leaders of the national side in the shortest format, stating that both cricketers are ‘truly prepared’ to take over the mantle from Harmanpreet Kaur.
Mithali’s comments come after India suffered group-stage exits in two consecutive editions of the T20 World Cup under Harmanpreet’s leadership. Harmanpreet, 37, led India to an unforgettable ODI World Cup title win on home soil last year. But under her leadership in T20Is since 2018, India are yet to win a T20 World Cup.
As of now, Harmanpreet is set to lead India in the Asian Games in Japan in September-October and is expected to captain them in the Women’s Asia Cup in August-September. Responding to a fan on social media platform 'X' who questioned her advocacy for Shafali over current India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, Mithali clarified that her vision was aimed at the long-term future of the team.
