Suryakumar Yadav is set to lead India in Sri Lanka for the three-match T20I series.
Following the retirement of India’s T20I captain Rohit Sharma, the team is on the lookout for a new leader in the format. Suryakumar Yadav has been chosen to captain Team India in the IND vs. SL T20I series, starting from July 27. He was preferred over Hardik Pandya, who was widely expected to lead India in the shorter format. Despite his limited experience as captain, Yadav has demonstrated significant potential and leadership qualities, making him a worthy candidate for the role.
Suryakumar Yadav captaincy record in T20Is
Suryakumar Yadav, primarily known for his 360-degree batting style, has only captained India in T20Is. Although he has never been the permanent captain, he has stepped in to fill the gap when the regular captain is unavailable. After the 2023 World Cup, he led India in a T20I series against Australia, securing a 4-1 victory as a form of revenge for the World Cup loss.
Overall, Yadav has captained India in seven T20I matches, winning five and losing only two. Besides Australia, he has also captained against South Africa.
