Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav has been struggling with poor form for quite some time. Surya proved to be a huge flop in the T20 World Cup this year. After this, his bat did not work even in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Surya’s captaincy of the Indian team is now under threat. Even though Team India has won the title under the leadership of Surya, the selectors believe that he is not getting a place in the team. Meanwhile, Surya has decided to play against Uganda.
Actually, Surya is going to play for ‘Triumph Knights Mumbai North East’ in T20 Mumbai League. This tournament is starting from 1st June. Before this, four different teams of T20 Mumbai League are going to face Uganda. Surya can take the field for Triumph Knights against Uganda in the match to be held on May 30. The Ugandan team is currently on a tour of Mumbai. Here he has to play 4-4 ODI and T20 matches.
