Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav continues to face challenges in shorter formats of cricket. In the recent T20 International against West Indies, he scored only 21 runs before being caught by Shimron Hetmyer off Jason Holder's bowling. This adds to his ongoing struggles in international cricket.
Despite getting off to promising starts in recent matches, Yadav has been unable to convert them into significant scores, leading to concerns among fans and experts. In his last five ODI innings, his highest score was 31 runs, which is below expectations for a player of his caliber. This is in contrast to his explosive debut in international cricket, where he impressed everyone with fearless stroke play and consistent run-scoring.
While Yadav has proved his match-winning abilities in the IPL with Mumbai Indians, his current form in international cricket is a cause for worry. Sanju Samson's impressive performance with a 50 in the series opener may add pressure on Yadav's position in the middle-order as a backup for Shreyas Iyer.
Yadav's average of 14.11 in nine ODIs in 2023 and 26 in three T20Is against West Indies highlight his struggles to make a significant impact. Despite receiving support from coach Rahul Dravid, his chances might diminish if he doesn't regain his form soon.
As the T20 World Cup approaches, it becomes crucial for Yadav and the Indian team to find his touch and confidence in the upcoming matches. Being an explosive middle-order batsman, his form will play a pivotal role in India's World Cup ambitions, and his return to form could be a game-changer for the team.
