Suryakumar Yadav faces ongoing T20I form slump

Suryakumar Yadav has gone 21 T20I innings without a fifty, amid concerns for India's T20 World Cup preparations. His role as captain heightens worries during the South Africa series in Dharamsala.

Suryakumar Yadav, India's T20I captain, is in a prolonged form slump, having not scored a fifty in his last 21 innings. This runs drought raises questions about his batting consistency ahead of the T20 World Cup. The ongoing India vs South Africa T20I series in Dharamsala has highlighted middle-order issues, with Yadav's 2025 strike rate under scrutiny. As both captain and vice-captain, his poor form prompts concerns: can India afford this going into the World Cup? Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma has shown impact in recent T20Is, underscoring the need for stability in the lineup.
