Former India captain Suryakumar rues T20 omission after World Cup success

Former India captain Suryakumar Yadav expressed disappointment over his omission from the national T20 side following the team's successful defense of their men's T20 World Cup title. Yadav, who led India to 42 wins in 50 T20 internationals, was replaced as captain by Shreyas Iyer after India's victory over New Zealand in March 2024.

Yadav, who played 9 matches in the World Cup and struggled to score runs, stated that while he respected the decision, he was disappointed because the team had not lost a series for two years. India's performance has since declined, with a loss to Ireland and a 4-0 defeat to England, with their only series win since the World Cup being against Zimbabwe.
