Once hailed as India’s Mr. 360, Suryakumar Yadav was at the peak of his powers during the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, when his innovative stroke play lit up the tournament.

His lean patch in 2025 has not only dented his confidence but also raised questions about his role in India’s middle order.

Numbers That Tell the Story

So far in 2025, Suryakumar has scored just 87 runs in nine T20I innings, averaging poorly with a modest strike rate of 112.98 — a far cry from his explosive standards. In the Asia Cup 2025, his scores read 7, 47, 0, and 5, leaving India’s batting exposed when youngsters like Abhishek Sharma also fail to fire.
