“Suryakumar Yadav let me down, his scores are like a PIN code” - Former Indian cricketer slams Indian T20I captain

Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth has come out hard on the Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav, who has been struggling with poor form in the shortest format of the game. Notably, SKY has been averaging around 11 in T20Is in the ongoing calendar year.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth asserted that the Indian captain’s scores of late are like a PIN code, adding that he has been a major letdown in the campaign, heading into the ICC T20 World Cup next year in India and Sri Lanka.

"Suryakumar Yadav let me down. His scores are like a PIN code these days. Both batting lineups had several pin codes, with Pakistan being much worse, of course. But yes, Surya's form is very concerning, along with Shubman Gill," Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel.

Furthermore, the former cricketer also talked about the new vice-captain, Shubman Gill, who failed to impress on his comeback to the shortest format of the game. Though he has been good enough in Tests and ODIs, he couldn’t live up to expectations in T20Is.

"Shubman Gill doesn't look very deadly in the T20 format. He is fantastic in Tests and ODIs. Though they made him the vice-captain, with the World Cup coming up, we have to see what they do with him. He wasn't even in my team during the initial selection. But they made him the vice-captain as well," he added.

Additionally, Srikkanth also felt that the current Indian squad will not make a major impact in the upcoming ICC mega event in 2026. However, he felt that this squad was enough for the below-average Asian sides.

"This team is not the right one for the T20 World Cup. It was enough for the below-average sides in this tournament. But if we play with this team in the T20 World Cup, it'll be curtains for us," he concluded.
