The Indian Team skipper Suryakumar Yadav has acknowledged that he is out of runs after scoring yet another low score in the third T20I against South Africa in Dharamsala on Sunday. The right-handed batter has been struggling to score runs in 2025 and has an average below 15 without registering a single half-century so far.
Despite his reputation as India’s explosive batter and also popularly called as Mr.360, Suryakumar’s international runs have been a big problem now. During the IPL, he amassed 717 runs but the form that he did not translate well in national side. In 20 International appearances, he has crossed the 30-run mark only twice once against Pakistan in Asia Cup and the once in T20I against Australia in Canberra.
Speaking after the conclusion of third T20I, Suryakumar Yadav mentioned about his form and said “See, the thing is that I have been batting beautifully in the nets. I am trying everything that is in my control. When the game comes, when the runs have to come, they will definitely come. But yes, I am looking for runs,” Suryakumar said at the post-match presentation.
“Not out of form, but definitely out of runs,” he added.
“I think this sport teaches you a lot of things. How you come back into the series is more important. And we did the same thing, we wanted to go back to basics, do the same things we were doing in Cuttack, and the results were on our side.”

Suryakumar Yadav also opined about the series and Indian Team’s strategy to tackle the games and how to clinch it. India won the third T20I by 7 wickets and now they will be playing the 4th T20I at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday, December 17.
“See, there was a lot of learning from the game we played in Chandigarh. The bowlers sat together, and we had a good team meeting as well. We came for practice sessions and attempted to replicate the same tasks we had done in Cuttack. We went back to basics. We didn’t try to do a lot of different things, but I think the basics were very important at that time,” he added.
