Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav also proved to be a flop in the third T20 against South Africa. Surya was out on the ball of Lungi Ngidi after scoring 12 runs. The year 2025 was not good at all for Surya. He has not been able to score a single half-century in T20 International this year, while he has been out on zero thrice.

Suryakumar’s T20 International record in 2025

Suryakumar Yadav’s biggest T20 innings in the year 2025 is 47 runs, which came against Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium. He remained unbeaten. Apart from this, he could not score above 40 in any match. He was out twice against England and once against Pakistan without opening an account.

The ongoing series against South Africa is India’s last T20 series of this year, in the first match of which Surya was out after scoring 12 runs. In the second match he could score only 5 runs. He scored 12 runs in the third T20 on Sunday.

It was not good for Shubman Gill also Year

The year 2025 was not very good for Shubman Gill in T20 International. He scored 291 runs in 15 T20 International matches this year. No half-century came from his bat this year, while he got out for ‘duck’ after 1.

In the first and second matches against South Africa, he returned to the pavilion in the very first over. Gill, who scored 4 runs in the first match, could not even open his account in the second match. In the third match he scored 28 runs in 28 balls.

World Cup cause for concern

There is the T20 World Cup in February-March next year, before which captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubman Gill will have to regain their rhythm. After South Africa, now India’s second T20 series is against New Zealand in January next year, that will be India’s last T20 series before the World Cup.

Suryakumar Yadav could not score big even in the fourth T20 against Australia, his bad form is not in this series but in the last few series. His condition is similar to that of Pakistan’s Babar Azam, who was left out of the Asia Cup team due to his poor form. Let us tell you what has been the record of both of them in the last 3 T20 series.

Suryakumar Yadav has scored a total of 84 runs in the first 4 matches of the ongoing T20 series against Australia. He had scored unbeaten 39 runs in the first T20 itself, which was canceled due to rain. Before this, Suryakumar Yadav had not scored more than 100 runs in any of the 3 T20 series.

• Runs- Suryakumar Yadav- 414 runs, Babar Azam- 157

Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian cricket team defeated Bangladesh and made it to the finals of the Asia Cup 2025. But captain Surya’s own form is not going well. He had scored 47 runs in group stage against Pakistan, apart from this, he could not even touch the double figure in 3 innings. In the first match of Super-4, Surya was dismissed by scoring just 5 runs in the match against Bangladesh for zero against Pakistan.

Suryakumar Yadav was caught out behind the wicket on the last ball of the 12th over. Although the umpire did not give him out when the appeal was made, Surya also stood there but Bangladesh took the review. On the screen, it was shown that the big edge of the bat went to the wicket keeper. Abhishek Sharma was also run out on the first ball in this over.

On the ball of Mustafizur Rahman, Surya wanted to hit a shot towards Thirdman, which went towards the point. Fielder Rishad Hosain stopped the ball by putting a brilliant dive, Abhishek ran to run the run but Surya asked him to go back. Abhishek was run out, he played a brilliant innings of 75 runs in 37 balls.
