The captain of the Indian T20 team, Suryakumar Yadav, has been having a form crisis for a long time. There are concerns about the Indian cricket team in the wake of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Recently, the Indian cricket team won a five-match series against the South African cricket team with a 3-1 margin. But Suryakumar Yadav played poorly with the bat.
The match in Lucknow was abandoned due to dense fog. Hence, only four matches were held. Surya Kumar Yadav scored 34 runs in these four matches with an average of 8.50. However, Sanju Samson scored 37 runs in only one match. Tilak Varma was the highest scorer in the series with a total of 186 runs.
Tilak Varma was supporting Captain Suryakumar Yadav. "He might regain his confidence with one good innings," said Tilak Varma, analyzing Suryakumar's performance. "He needs to play patiently and give himself time to settle down on the crease. After gaining confidence, he can hit freely. Then, he has to find gaps between the fieldmen and thereafter go for larger shots," said Tilak Varma.
In the Ahmedabad match, a partnership of 105 runs came between Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya in 45 balls. The partnership resulted in scoring 231 runs and 8 wickets within 20 overs. They won the match by 30 runs, grabbing the series 3-1. Tilak Varma scored 72 runs in 42 balls before getting run out.
The bat faced seven balls and contributed 5 runs. Currently, he has played 19 innings and scored 218 runs with an average of 13.62. Moreover, he has not performed half-century play from October 2024.
