Suryakumar Yadav is on the verge of being stripped of the Indian T20 team's captaincy. The decision is expected to be communicated even before the squad for the upcoming tour of the United Kingdom is finalised.

With Suryakumar's leadership role under immediate threat, middle-order batters Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma have emerged as the frontrunners to take over the mantle.
