Suryakumar Yadav ruthlessly trolled after failure in IND vs SA 1st T20I

Fans have not spared India national cricket team’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, after his failed display in the first match of the five-match series against the South Africa national cricket team.

The Indian captain did not look comfortable in the middle and was dismissed for 12 minutes by South Africa national cricket team’s Lungi Ngidi at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.

Suryakumar Yadav fails again in T20I cricket

Suryakumar has not looked the same mix since he became the T20I captain. His batting form has declined significantly since he became captain, and he has not been able to play good knocks.

Your daily dose of cricket!

The right-handed batsman has tried everything, but he has not been able to play powerful strokes for the India national cricket team in the form he once dominated.

Suryakumar, a former world No. 1 batsman, was cleaned out by Lungi Ngidi in the third over of the match. On the fourth ball of the over, Ngidi bowled a long ball to the batter outside off stump.

Suryakumar tried to pass it across the line midway through the match, but his timing was very poor, and he was caught by Aiden Markram.

In his last 24 T20I innings, he has scored scores of 20(10), 1(4), 39*(24), 1(5), 12(13), 5(11), 0(3), 47*(37), 7*(2), 2(3), 0(4), 14(7), 12(7), 0(3), 1(4), 4(9), 21(17), 75(35), 8(10), 29(14), 8(9), 26(12), 58(26), and 12(11).

Overall in T20Is in 2025, Suryakumar scored just 196 runs in 16 innings at an average of 15.07 and a strike rate of 126.45, with a highest score of 47*.

Since the day he was appointed as team leader, he has been failing more and more

The World Cup is two months away and you still have faith in Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav while proven champions like Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Yashavi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad sit???? pic.twitter.com/UUPj7xqEFw

Suryakumar Yadav is doing everything possible to ensure that Shubman leads India’s generation in the T20 World Cup. #Indvssa

Suryakumar Yadav went for 12. He is a failure in the Asia Cup, he is a failure in the Australia series, he is a failure in this match. The captain saves him. He became a liability on this team. Continuous failure of many matches.
Multiplication is weak 👎👎👎 #INDvSA

Another scam gone!

Suryakumar Yadav now departs immediately after Shubman Gill in similar fashion after scoring 12 (11)

There are only two months left until the World Cup and the two people with the worst stats now are the team captain and vice-captain

amazing . Just wow.

Suryakumar and generation of ICT commitments

Suryakumar Yadav is almost done in international cricket.
A very poor cricketer, he has 0 consecutive runs. None of his six ages went over 90 metres.#Indvssa #sky

Another flop for Suryakumar Yadav, who has been a ghost for over a year now and is yet to be selected. No questions were asked😤

It is true that if you look at Suryakumar Yadav, the batsman, there is a need for runs – Parthiv Patel

Speaking on Star Sports before the match, former wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel stated that Suryakumar needs to come back between the overs. He explained:

“It is true that if you look at Suryakumar Yadav, the batsman, there is a need for runs. He started in Australia, and we got some glimpses. We saw some innings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well, but those big innings did not come.”

“Talking about the leg side, the flick is his favorite shot. He picks the length quickly and is very quick with his footwork. If we look at his scoring areas, 50 percent comes from the fine leg to the leg side area.”

“Most of the shots you hit in those areas are off balls that are bowled into the stumps. That means you are taking a lot of risk. I feel it should take some time and if that happens, we will again see him scoring those runs down the leg side.”
