Krunal Pandya Loses Vice-Captaincy Ahead of IPL 2024 Season
As the seventeenth season of the IPL approaches, the Lucknow Super Giants have announced a significant change in leadership. Last season, Krunal Pandya served as the captain in Lokesh Rahul’s absence and held the position of vice-captain when Rahul was in the lineup. However, the franchise has decided to make a change, appointing West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran as the vice-captain for the upcoming season, sidelining Krunal Pandya.
Krunal Pandya’s captaincy during the previous season saw the team reach the playoffs, but his individual performance faced challenges. Struggling to make an impact with the bat and ball after taking on the captain’s responsibilities, the decision to relieve him of the vice-captaincy is seen as a strategic move by the Lucknow Super Giants.
