Krunal Pandya named India captain for Hong Kong Sixes 2026
Krunal leads India at the 12-team Hong Kong Sixes 2026.
Krunal Pandya will captain the India squad at the Hong Kong Sixes 2026. Twelve teams are participating in the tournament. Pakistan has also named its squad for the event. The Hong Kong Sixes features a fast-paced format that suits players with strong power-hitting and athletic fielding skills. Krunal's selection as captain brings his all-round abilities and leadership experience to the short tournament. The squad will represent India in a competition that draws international attention despite its limited-overs structure. Details of the Pakistan squad have been released alongside India's announcement.
CricHubb Take
The Hong Kong Sixes sits outside the usual international calendar, so naming Krunal signals that India values giving emerging leaders exposure in non-standard conditions rather than resting established names for a low-stakes event.
