Suryakumar Yadav's Resurgence: India Finds T20 World Cup Missing Piece

  • Suryakumar Yadav showcased stellar form with a 26-ball 57 in Guwahati and a 37-ball 82 in Raipur, marking his second consecutive fifty.
  • His recent performances ended a 23-innings drought without a fifty, addressing concerns about early dismissals by pacers.
  • In Raipur, Suryakumar started cautiously, scoring 10 off 10 balls, then accelerated to 72 off the next 27, dismantling pacers like Zak Foulkes.
  • Sunil Gavaskar highlighted that the Raipur knock restored Suryakumar's confidence, emphasizing his clean hitting in nets despite a lack of runs in matches.
  • Aakash Chopra noted Suryakumar's mature approach in Guwahati, playing grounded shots and not letting ego interfere, crucial for T20 World Cup preparation.

Why It Matters: Suryakumar Yadav's return to form provides India with a crucial middle-order anchor ahead of the T20 World Cup.
