Team India won the Asia Cup 2025 title with ease, but questions remain over captain Suryakumar Yadav’s recent form. The right-hander has struggled in T20Is this year, managing only 100 runs across 12 matches. During the eight-team tournament, the 35-year-old batter could muster just 72 runs in six games, with his best effort being an unbeaten 47 against Pakistan in the group stage in Dubai.

Naturally, concerns have emerged over his performance, but head coach Gautam Gambhir has downplayed the issue. He emphasized that occasional failures are part of the game, especially when a player prioritizes the team’s objectives and follows a high-risk, attacking approach.

Despite his international struggles, Suryakumar enjoyed a strong IPL 2025 campaign, finishing as the second-highest run-scorer.
