A picture of Suryakumar Yadav has created a stir on social media. Actually, Suryakumar Yadav’s wife, Devisha Shetty, shared a very cute picture, in which Surya is expressing his love for his daughter by holding her in his lap. But the topic of discussion is the caption written on his T-shirt.

Actually, ‘Captain’ and ‘Leader’ are written on Suryakumar Yadav’s T-shirt. Captain has been crossed out with a line, while ‘Leader’ is clearly visible in big letters. People started making different types of claims on social media. Some said that Surya has taken a dig at the selectors after being dropped from the T20 squad.

Let us remind you that in March this year, under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team won the title of 2026 T20 World Cup. But as soon as the first series after IPL 2026 came, not only was the captaincy taken away from Suryakumar, he also had to be dropped from the team.

This picture of Suryakumar has become a big issue because after his removal from the captaincy, the performance of Team India has been very bad. Shreyas Iyer has become the new captain and under him on the UK tour, India has lost the series first to Ireland and then to England. Suryakumar’s wearing of such a T-shirt amidst the poor performance of Team India is giving impetus to the debate started on social media.

The main reason for Surya’s drop from the team was his personal form. Excluding the series against New Zealand, Surya could not even touch the total of 100 runs in the last five T20 series. Suryakumar’s record as captain was very good, because under his captaincy, Team India had won 16 consecutive series.

Suryakumar Yadav has lost the captaincy and has also been dropped from the team. Suryakumar has given his first reaction on this big decision of BCCI. He has sent his best wishes to the squad selected for the tour of Ireland and England through social media posts. Along with this, he has also sent a special message for Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

The Indian team will tour Ireland in the last week of June. After that, Team India will leave for England from there in July. BCCI announced the squad for both these series on Friday. Shreyas Iyer has become the new T20 captain in place of Suryakumar Yadav.

Suryakumar Yadav’s reaction

Even after being out of the team and losing his captaincy, Suryakumar Yadav set an example of positivity. He has updated 2 stories on Instagram. First, while sharing the picture of the Indian squad, he wrote in the caption – Best wishes to this talented team for the upcoming challenges.

Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said that poor form was one of the main reasons for Suryakumar’s exit from the team. Even in the T20 World Cup 2026, Surya was able to score only one half-century. Before that, Surya had flopped badly in many series.

Sent a special message to Vaibhav Suryavanshi

15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been selected in Team India for the first time. Vaibhav created history as soon as he was selected, because he is the youngest cricketer in history to be selected in the Indian cricket team.

Suryakumar Yadav gave a special message to Vaibhav and wrote – You have earned this opportunity through hard work. Excited to see your upcoming journey.

Suryakumar Yadav, who led the Indian cricket team to win the 2026 T20 World Cup title under his captaincy, has been dropped from Team India. BCCI on Saturday also announced Team India for the series against Ireland, England and the Asian Games. Suryakumar’s name was not visible far and wide in these three squads.

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar also cited poor form as the main reason for Surya’s drop. Tilak Verma has become the vice-captain and 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also been selected in Team India for the first time.

This decision was not easy

Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said about Suryakumar Yadav – This decision was not easy, especially when we have just won the World Cup. But after every World Cup you think about further strategies and what could be the best decision. Keeping the next World Cup in mind, we felt that this would be the right decision.

The last 2 years have not been good at all for Suryakumar Yadav in terms of personal form. In the T20 World Cup 2026, he scored 242 runs in 9 matches. Only one half-century came from his bat in the entire World Cup. Before that, the New Zealand series was good for him, but before that he had also flopped in the series against Australia, South Africa and England.

Suryakumar struggling with bad form

Suryakumar Yadav has been struggling with poor form for a long time. So far in IPL 2026, he has been able to score only 195 runs in 10 matches and the average is only 19.5. Only one half-century innings has come from his bat in the entire season. The strike rate of Suryakumar, who usually bats with a stormy strike rate of 160-170, has fallen to 145 this season.

Suryakumar Yadav’s poor form means that the middle order of Mumbai Indians has been seen struggling badly, because Tilak Verma has also not been able to do anything special this season except one century, on the other hand, captain Hardik Pandya is also continuously flopping. Mumbai’s condition is so bad that it is on the verge of being out of the playoff race.

His performance has also not been very good for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. Surya has so far been able to score 157 runs by playing 7 matches in the current season. Meanwhile, former cricketer Wasim Jaffer warned Suryakumar Yadav regarding technique and also gave a special advice.

Wasim Jaffer told that now all the teams know the playing style of Suryakumar Yadav. The bowlers are holding such line and length, due to which Surya is not able to play his trademark shot backwards. While giving advice, Jaffer said that Surya should play more shots towards the front.

Suryakumar Yadav’s weakness caught

Wasim Jaffer said through social media post that Suryakumar is getting out in the same way every time. Everyone knows how much Surya likes to play backward shots. Jaffer said that all the teams know this, hence the fielding is set in such a way that Surya is not able to play shots on the leg side and behind the wicket.

Need for Plan B

Veteran cricketer Wasim Jaffer, while advising Suryakumar Yadav, said that he now needs Plan B. Surya should now try to play shots towards the front or towards the covers. Wasim Jaffer said in strong words that Surya has become predictable and he needs to get rid of this problem. He further said that Surya is such a good player that he should not fall into the same trap and get out every time.
