Suryakumar Yadav ODI Career: India’s T20 team is performing better under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. Team India has also recently won the title of T20 Asia Cup 2025. But despite the better performance of the team, Suryakumar Yadav is stuck in big trouble. Suryakumar has started worrying about his ODI career. For this, Surya has sought help from former South African cricket team captain and veteran player AB de Villiers to somehow help him save his ODI career.

Suryakumar Yadav asked for help

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said in an interview to Vimal Kumar, ‘If I meet AB de Villiers soon, then I would like to ask him how he managed his T20 and ODI career, because I am not able to do that. I feel that ODI can also be played like T20 International. I want to ask him how he made his career successful in both these formats.

Suryakumar Yadav further said, ‘AB, if my message is reaching you, then please I want to get in touch with you quickly, because the next 3-4 years are important for me. I also want to make a comeback in ODI cricket soon. Please help me for this, because I am not able to balance T20 and ODI.

Where is Suryakumar Yadav in his ODI career?

Suryakumar Yadav has played only 37 matches in his ODI career so far, in which he has scored 773 runs at an average of 25.76. Surya has scored 4 half-centuries in ODIs. In T20 International, Surya has scored 2,734 runs in 93 matches at an average of 36.94, which includes 4 centuries and 21 half-centuries.

AB de Villiers is named among the most successful players not only of South Africa but also of the world. De Villiers has scored 9,577 runs in 218 innings of 228 matches. AB’s average in ODI is 53.50. Maintaining an average of more than 50 in ODIs in such a long career is a big thing for any player.
