India clinched a series win against South Africa by 3-1 on home soil but one of the biggest concern that has surfaced now is Suryakumar Yadav's form. The T20 World Cup is less than two months away and the Indian skipper has failed to score runs in the whole year of 2025. He could not hit a single half-century and has finished at an average of below 14.
India registered a dashing win in the fifth T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad following which Suryakumar Yadav opened up about his struggles but also made sure that his confidence remains high and he will bounce back stronger.

“Maybe the only thing we couldn’t quite manage was finding Surya the batter, I think he went missing somewhere! (smiles) But he’ll be back stronger. As a team, I’m really happy,” Suryakumar said at the post-match presentation.
“Whenever we were in trouble, someone always put their hand up and pulled us through. As captain, that’s very satisfying with the way this series went for us,” he added.
Suryakumar Yadav also appreciated Team India for delivering great performance and also acknowledged the batting effort of his other teammates.
“Yeah, I mean, from the start of the tournament, we wanted to play a certain brand of cricket. I am happy that we did exactly that. We didn’t try to do anything different. We wanted to express ourselves across all departments, and the results are right there for everyone to see,” said the Indian captain.
“Yeah, this is something we felt was missing in our last few series. This is exactly how we wanted to bat. Once someone gets going, they don’t stop. We wanted that relentless intent, and tonight it worked beautifully,” he added.
