Is Captaincy Impacting Suryakumar Yadav Form?
The England tour of India T20I series is being currently led by the Indian side with a 3-1 lead. Although India has been putting in significant performances, team captain Suryakumar Yadav has had a low-performing series. Critics and fans have been asking an important question, is captaincy impacting Suryakumar Yadav form.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Statistics
Suryakumar Yadav has been an exceptional performer in T20 internationals, scoring 2596 runs in 78 innings with an impressive average of 38.74 and a strike rate of 167.26. His record includes four centuries and 21 fifties, a feat that only few can rival in this format. As a hard-hitting batter, his numbers are even more impressive.

However, as captain, Yadav’s performance has dipped slightly. His average as skipper is 29.26, having scored 556 runs in 19 innings, which includes one hundred and four fifties. Despite the dip in his batting stats, he has played some crucial knocks for his team. Given his solid strike rate and consistent past form, the team management and the coaching staff are expected to continue supporting him.
Is Captaincy really to blame?
In the last four matches against the English side, Suryakumar Yadav has scored 0,12,14, and 0. Following scores of 0 and 12 in the previous series, Suryakumar Yadav’s aggressive approach can be clearly, but his execution appears to be going off. In his 20 innings as captain, he has managed 556 runs at an average of 27.80, which is below his career average.
The figures include four half-centuries, a rarity for his usual style. Despite this recent dip, his overall T20I CV remains strong. For a player, a single series cannot decide their whole career and apart from this low performance, as captain, he has been pulling in some significant decisions which are crucial for the T20I wins. With one upcoming match against England, he’ll be aiming to regain his form in this last T20I.
