Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav endured another frustrating trip with a bat in the conflict of Super 4 against Sri Lanka in Asia Cup, released to 12 out of 13 balls in the Super 4 finals before the finals against Pakistan.
Social media exploded with criticism when the fans lamented over the dramatic fall of the batshed, who once considered the Indian T20i MVP. “From the Indian MVP in format to the non -paying asset, what fall for Suryakumar Yadav! He is in this team just because he is a captain!” He wrote one fan and reflected the sentiment widely shared across platforms. Others were less restricted and described their recent form as “disappointment” and “unworthy captain”.
It is difficult to ignore Suryakumar’s fighting statistically. During the last ten shifts he managed only 99 runs on average 12.37, with a strike of 110.0. In the Asian Cup alone, he scored 71 runs across five shifts and did not provide posts that won the matches expected from the Indian leader. His last T20i fifty came 14 shifts, which emphasized a longer period of bad form.
The Super 4 meeting with Sri Lanka provided another sharp illustration. Waninda Hasarang was imprisoned by Suryakumar LBW with a flying van that slipped under the bat and hit him on the mat in front of the middle stump. After reviewing the referee, he raised his finger and awarded Hasarang his seventh goal of the tournament. The release, coming to a critical intersection, attracted fresh anger from fans who expected their captain to anchor the shift.
Once celebrated as one of the most innovative Batsmen cricket T20, Suryakumar now appears to be preliminarily In situations where he was previously prospering. His signature of 360 degrees of moves lost decisive. Previously, in the series, attempts at unconventional shots against England and Pakistan led to early release, while against Bangladesh, a poorly executed flick on the side of the leg, they saw him catch the goal. The fans were loud and stressed that the hesitation and incorrect selection of shot cost India essential runs.
When India prepares for the clash of the title against the arch-Soupers of Pakistan, the form of Suryakumar remains a growing problem. Analysts and supporters hope to re -discover their touch in front of the T20 World Cup, as entering the global tournament with the captain fighting the fold could prove expensive.
