Suryakumar Yadav's 19-match fifty drought: Steyn praises T20 captain's leadership

• Suryakumar Yadav's poor T20 form continues, with no half-century in his last 19 innings, scoring only 222 runs.
• Despite his batting struggles, former South African pacer Dale Steyn praised Suryakumar's leadership qualities and ability to inspire teammates.
• India secured a dominant 101-run victory over South Africa in the first T20I.
• Hardik Pandya's unbeaten 59 helped India post 175/6, leading to South Africa being bowled out for just 74.
• This marked South Africa's lowest T20I total against India.

Why It Matters: Suryakumar Yadav's leadership is valued over individual performance despite poor form.
