Suryakumar Yadav Removed as India T20I Captain Following Form Decline
Suryakumar Yadav, who captained India to a historic back-to-back T20 World Cup victory, has been removed as T20I captain and is unlikely to be selected further. His decline in form, including a modest 270 runs in 13 IPL matches at an average around 20.7, contributed to this decision. While some sources highlight his late career start and leadership achievements, others note factors like his role at Mumbai Indians and personal distractions. Shreyas Iyer is expected to succeed him as captain.
