Suryakumar Yadav's First Test as India's New T20 Captain Against Australia

Ahead of India's T20 series against Australia, former assistant coach Abhishek Nayar examines captain Suryakumar Yadav's fluctuating form. With India's T20 World Cup success in the backdrop, Yadav seeks to reclaim his batting prowess essential for the series. India dominates past encounters with 20 victories over Australia.

As India gears up for its T20 showdown against Australia, all eyes are on newly appointed captain Suryakumar Yadav. Former assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar, recently commented on Yadav's struggle with the bat, emphasizing his potential rebound.

After Rohit Sharma's departure post the T20 World Cup win, Yadav assumed leadership. However, his performance has been inconsistent, averaging 18.33 in 22 matches. Nayar noted this series could be a testing ground for Yadav, especially given Australia's challenging conditions.

Despite a lackluster Asia Cup, Yadav remains focused on revitalizing his form. The much-anticipated Australia face-off marks an intense chapter in his captaincy as India, with a commanding 20 wins out of 32 T20I clashes, aims to uphold its dominance.
