Despite leading the Indian team to their third T20 World Cup title as a captain, Suryakumar Yadav was shockingly dropped from the Indian team when the team was announced for India’s tour of Ireland and England. The selectors cited his poor run with the bat as the main reason for his removal from the national side, with Shreyas Iyer leading the charge for the Men in Blue.

After his removal, the Mumbai batter was seen grinding it out in the recently concluded T20 Mumbai 2026, where he scored 163 runs in just five innings, with a stunning strike rate of 175.27. Team India seemed to struggle in the middle-overs in a series against Ireland, and Suryakumar can still fill in that spot with his invaluable presence in the middle in a three-match series against Zimbabwe.
