Delhi: Former Indian opener Wasim Jafar has said that after handling the captaincy, Suryakumar Yadav’s batting form is falling, which is a matter of concern. Surya, who was a world number 1 T20 batsman, has scored only 258 runs in 14 innings after becoming captain, which includes only two half -centuries. His average has been only 18.42.

Wasim Jafar raised questions on Suryakumar Yadav

Jafar said that Surya used to try to score runs on the leg side, but now he has changed his shots. He said, “While captaining the Indian team, the decline in Suryakumar Yadav’s performance is a matter of concern. He is not able to score runs, this is also an issue. In the last few international matches, he was trying to score runs on most legs side. Does not live. ”

After Shubman Gill was made the vice -captain of the team, the discussion started whether Surya’s captaincy is in danger. However, Wasim Jafar rejected this thing outright. He said, “There is a vice -captain in every series, it does not mean that the captain is being removed. Bumrah and Hardik are not playing every series at the moment, so players like Shubman or Shreyas can come forward.”

First major exam as captain in Asia Cup

Asia Cup 2025 Suryakumar Yadav’s first major tournament will be captain. India will start on September 10 against UAE in Dubai. Everyone’s eye will be on how Shubman Gill will be fitted in the team and where will the in-form opener like Sanju Samson get a chance. This tournament will be the real test of both Surya’s captaincy and batting.
