Surya became captain after Rohit Sharma

Team India won the 2024 T20 World Cup title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. After this Hitman retired from T20 International. After Rohit, Suryakumar was handed over the command.

World Cup winning captain Suryakumar Yadav stripped of T20 captaincy, will also be out of the team; i report

Suryakumar Yadav Removed as T20I Captain: Captain Suryakumar Yadav, who led India to the 2026 T20 World title, has been removed from the captaincy. The report revealed that Surya has been stripped of T20 captaincy. The matter was not limited to just losing the captaincy, the report said that it would be difficult for Surya to remain in the team. Team India has to play the next T20 series against Ireland and England. Even before that, the news of Surya’s removal from captaincy came out.

A report published in the Indian Express said that Suryakumar Yadav has been removed from the post of India’s T20 captain. The Board of Control for Cricket in India, in consultation with the team management and selection committee, will appoint a new captain for the new season. This makes it clear that now the Men in Blue are going to get a new T20 captain.

The report quoted a BCCI official as saying, “The selection committee, BCCI and the team management, after consulting coach Gautam Gambhir, have decided that India should take the field with a new captain from now on. Under Surya’s captaincy, the team won the T20 World Cup, but keeping in mind his form and future, the team felt that now is the time to move on.”

Bad form poses a big problem for Surya

Surya’s poor form became a big problem for him. Even though Team India won the T20 World Cup title under the captaincy of Surya, he could not score runs against the big teams in the tournament. After this, even in the 2026 IPL, Suryakumar mostly looked like a flop. He scored 270 runs in 13 innings at an average of 20.76. During this period he scored 2 half-centuries.

Became captain after Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma retired from the format after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup title. After Rohit, Surya was appointed the new T20 captain. Now it will be interesting to see who is given the command after Suryakumar Yadav. However, an official update is yet to come from BCCI.

Suryakumar Yadav Reaction Mitchell Santner Statement: The final of T20 World Cup 2026 will be played on 8 March. Before this title clash between India and New Zealand, a war of words has broken out between the captains of both the teams. The final match will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Recently Mitchell Santner had said that he wants to silence the Indian fans by winning the trophy. Now Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav has given his reaction on this.

What did Mitchell Santner say?

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner had said that his aim is to silence the Indian fans. He said that T20 cricket is full of uncertainties. Santner said that if he continues to play brilliantly like this, he can defeat any team. Without a doubt, there will be pressure on the Indian team to win the final in front of their home fans and get the trophy. The captain of the Kiwi team also reiterated the same thing.

Surya gave this answer

Captain Suryakumar Yadav said in the press conference before the final match, “Everyone is busy repeating the same thing. They should come up with something new.”

Suryakumar further said that playing the World Cup final in front of home fans is a special experience in itself and every member of the team is excited about this moment. Surya told that the team is excited and ready for the World Cup final.

Santner considered himself ‘underdog’

Mitchell Santner also admitted that New Zealand will not be seen as a strong contender to win the final, but his team will leave no stone unturned to give its best. Santner said that he would not mind breaking the hearts of some fans while lifting the trophy.

BCCI on Saturday announced the 15-member Indian team for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Vice-captain Shubman Gill did not get a place in this team. Ishan Kishan got a chance in his place. Along with this, Sanju Samson’s opening was also approved. After the announcement of the team, a report came out which will surprise everyone.

Shubman Gill’s future was not actually decided on Saturday, when BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia announced the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup, as his future was decided only on Wednesday when the fourth T20 International against South Africa was abandoned due to dense fog, news agency PTI reported. According to a BCCI source, the decision was taken on the same day that Gill will not be selected in the T20 World Cup team. However, till Saturday morning neither the chairman of the selection committee had informed him about this nor captain Suryakumar Yadav or head coach Gautam Gambhir had talked to him about it.

Captain Suryakumar’s record in the last one year has been very bad, while he got relief, Gill’s ouster in this manner may naturally seem disappointing. As soon as the news spread that Gill had injured his toe while batting, it was clear that something was not right, Gambhir and the Suryakumar-led team management had moved ahead with Gill’s replacement.

If BCCI sources are to be believed, the team management had already decided to drop the vice-captain while Gill wanted to play the Ahmedabad match because the injury was not so serious. This was the first signal for the Indian vice-captain to be dropped from the team, as he had scored a total of 32 runs in three matches against South Africa. Initially the medical team suspected a ‘hairline fracture’, but later the scan revealed that it was just an injury and he could play the Ahmedabad match with the help of painkillers.

If we pay attention to the words of selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar, then he also did not seem completely confident about this decision because for a long time he had considered this Punjab batsman as the potential captain of India in every format. If we take a cursory look at the records of Gill and Suryakumar, this stylish batsman from Mohali has every reason to feel cheated.

Gill has scored 291 runs in 15 innings in 2025, his strike rate has been more than 137 while Suryakumar has scored 218 runs in 19 innings at a strike rate of 123.2, which is his worst performance after debut in international cricket. Apart from this, there is also discussion in the corridors of the Indian team that the captain’s right wrist is not completely fine. Two players were in poor form and the national selection committee had to drop one of them. In such cases the captain is often kept away from it.

For this reason, being the captain, Suryakumar was successful in saving his place while Gill had to pay the price because his impact was not that strong while opening the innings with Abhishek Sharma. It should also not be forgotten that Gill is currently the captain of India in two other formats and this decision can create an atmosphere of distrust in the Indian dressing room. Will the chemistry between Gill and Gambhir continue after such a sudden and humiliating ouster? If Suryakumar could not score runs, he would not only lose his place in the dressing room but ultimately also his place in the team, because those who know Gambhir know that for him, winning is not everything, but winning is everything.

In the Asia Cup, the Indian team is riding on Vijayarath, now the challenge is the final, in which they have to face Pakistan. But the bat of team captain Suryakumar Yadav has been silent in the entire tournament, he has been able to score only 71 runs in five innings so far. Amidst this poor performance, legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has advised captain Suryakumar. Gavaskar says that Suryakumar should try to understand the position of the pitch till some ball after landing on the field.

According to India Today, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Suryakumar Yadav is a class player without any doubt. I would like to say that he should try to understand the situation of the pitch by playing some balls.

Gavaskar also said that when the batsman is set, it seems that there is no difficulty in the pitch. But before playing his natural game, the batsman needs to understand and know the circumstances of the pitch.

Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy has been good, India has lost in only 2 T20 matches so far under his captaincy. But his personal performance has been very bad. This year, Suryakumar has scored only 99 runs in 10 T20 innings, which does not include a single half -century.

Suryakumar Yadav scored 717 runs after playing 16 matches in IPL 2025, about 3 months ago, but the challenge of the Asia Cup is very different from that. He scored just 71 runs in the Asia Cup and his strike rate has also been only 107.57. Last time he scored 47 unbeaten against Pakistan, now he will be expected to perform a strong performance in the final as well. Suryakumar’s walking must be strengthening Indian batting.
