Is T20I captaincy weighing Suryakumar Yadav down?

NEW DELHI: India have emerged as a dominant force in T20Is under skipper Suryakumar Yadav but the form of 'Mr. 360' has now become a growing concern. Since taking over the captaincy in 2023, Suryakumar has led India in 22 matches, securing 17 wins and a win percentage of 79.54%. However, there has been a noticeable dip in his individual form since donning the captain's armband.

As captain, Suryakumar has played 22 matches, scoring 558 runs at an average of 26.57, with 1 century and 4 half-centuries. This is a major drop from the outstanding numbers he had when captaincy responsibility wasn't there. In 61 matches, he had scored 2040 runs at an average of 43.40, including 3 centuries and 17 half-centuries.
