Questions raised on Suryakumar Yadav’s batting also

The batting of Team India’s T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav is now under question. Suryakumar gets nervous in big matches. 4 years ago in the year 2022 also, he got out early in the semi-final match against England. The same situation happened in the match played on Thursday (March 5, 2026). He could score only 11 runs. Suryakumar Yadav has played 7 knockout matches so far in his international career and he has failed in almost all the matches. During this period, he could score only 95 runs at an average of 13.57 in 7 knockout matches. During this period his strike rate was 104.39. He scored only 14 runs in the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup and could score only 11 runs in the semi-final match on March 5, 2026. In both the matches, he batted unwisely and was out. This was certainly not batting of captain’s stature.

While batting in the death overs in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup and in the final, Suryakumar Yadav scored 18 runs in 28 balls. Since then he has not got a chance to play ODI. It is being told that if New Zealand makes the same mistake in the final match on March 8, 2026 and does not play seriously, then the result may go away from India. Opponents have also understood that Suryakumar Yadav does not participate in big and important matches. New Zealand would also like to take advantage of this.

Let us tell you here that Team India confirmed its place in the T20 World Cup final by defeating England in a thrilling semi-final match played on Thursday (March 05, 2026) in Wankhede, Mumbai.

In this match, once again Sanju Samson and Jasprit Bumrah performed brilliantly and played an important role in the victory. In this match also, Samson continued his excellent form with his bat. Sanju Samson, who came as an opener in this match, scored a brilliant 89 runs, due to which India scored 253 runs when called to bat.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly

Batting first, India scored 253 runs, after which Indian fans felt that Team India would easily win this match. England also lost 2 wickets in the beginning. After this, Jacob Bethel raised hopes of a great comeback by scoring 105 runs in just 48 balls. England maintained the pressure throughout the chase of 253 runs and kept fighting till the last over.

When it seemed that England would win this match and India’s World Cup journey would end with defeat in the semi-finals. In such a situation, it was Jasprit Bumrah who created the difference between the two teams with his brilliant spell of 1/33 in the 499-run match.

On the other hand, Bumrah turned the momentum in favor of India in his last spell. He gave only 14 runs in the last two overs. Only six runs were scored in his 18th over, which increased the pressure on Jacob Bethel and the rest of England’s batsmen. Ultimately England lost by 7 runs.

Surya was surprised by England’s batting

Regarding this exciting match, Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav admitted that he too was surprised by the way the match progressed. At the same time, he also praised his teammate Harry Brook for chasing runs without any fear in England. The captain of Team India also praised the patience of his bowlers.

‘What is the score…’

Suryakumar Yadav said during the match presentation – Oh God! I just said to Harry Brook, how much more do we have to score against you guys? But to be honest, it was a good wicket. The way he batted, I don’t want to take credit from him. He was always in the game and always in the chase. But the way Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and other bowlers pulled the game back was incredible.
