Suryakumar Yadav will lead India for the first time in a major tournament like the Asia Cup 2025, making this a test of both his batting and leadership skills.
Suryakumar Yadav has played 5 T20Is against Pakistan, scoring 64 runs at a poor average of 12.80, with a highest score of just 18.
Despite his reputation as an explosive T20 batter, against Pakistan he has managed only 1 six and 7 fours across those 5 matches.
In the 2022 Asia Cup, SKY played 2 matches vs Pakistan, scoring just 31 runs, with 18 being his best score.
His numbers suggest he has not been able to dominate Pakistan bowlers yet, unlike his performances against other teams.
The upcoming September 14 India vs Pakistan clash in Asia Cup 2025 will be crucial for him to silence critics and prove himself as both a batter and captain.
