Kaif Slams Suryakumar for 'Hiding in Dugout' Amid Poor T20I Form

• Former India batter Mohammed Kaif accused T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav of 'hiding in the dugout' due to poor form.
• Kaif's remarks followed Yadav's low score (12 runs) in the 3rd T20I against South Africa, contributing to his 2025 T20I average of 14.20.
• Kaif suggested Yadav should have batted at number three in the comfortable chase instead of sending Tilak Varma, to regain confidence.
• Yadav's batting position has been inconsistent, and he denies being out of form, stating he bats "beautifully" in nets.
