Legendary Sunil Gavaskar expects some senior players to announce retirement after India’s humiliating 10-wicket defeat against England in the T20 World Cup semi-final here on Thursday. Gavaskar also feels that all-rounder Hardik Pandya will take over the captaincy after the departure of Rohit Sharma.

“After winning the Indian Premier League on his first assignment as captain, he would have marked Hardik Pandya as the next captain,” the former India captain said on Star Sports.
“Hardik Pandya will definitely take charge of the team in the future and there will be some retirement, you never know. The players will be thinking a lot about it.
“There are many players in their mid-30s who would reconsider their position in the Indian T20I squad.”
Fifties from Alex Hales and Jos Buttler helped England beat India by 10 wickets.
While Virat Kohli has been the highest scorer in this World Cup, it has been disappointing for other senior players like skipper Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin and Dinesh Karthik, who are in their mid-30s.
