Hardik Pandya is the most probable candidate to lead India in ODIs. Rahul is a good option as a backup for Hardik. After the T20 World Cup 2022, Hardik was selected as the Indian captain in T20Is. So far, Hardik has done a pretty good job in T20Is. It might also be obvious that Hardik might lead India in ODIs. After MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit, Hardik is the candidate with the highest experience of leading India in T20Is.
The only thing that could go against Hardik is his fitness. In the past and present times, Hardik is known as a player prone to injuries. If Hardik can improve his fitness and promise an injury-free regime, India might well go with him as the captain in ODIs. Pandya is a good captain and helped Gujarat Titans to win their maiden title in 2022. In the following season, Pandya helped GT to reach the final of the IPL 2023.
