IND vs SA / Suryakumar can leave Rohit and Kohli behind together, just have to do this work

IND vs SA: While the Indian Test team is ready for the Australia tour under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian T20 team led by Suryakumar Yadav has entered the field for a four-match series in South Africa. Many new faces have got a chance in the Indian team for this series, while the players who performed brilliantly in the T20 series against Bangladesh have been successful in retaining their place. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team has performed brilliantly in T20 Internationals so far, but registering a win against the same on South African soil will be a challenging task. In this series, everyone's eyes will not only be on the performance of the team, but also on the individual batting of Suryakumar Yadav, who has a great opportunity to leave behind the records of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Suryakumar Yadav just a few steps away from the record

In the T20 International matches played so far between India and South Africa, the record for the most runs among Indian players is currently held by Rohit Sharma, who has scored 429 runs against Africa. Virat Kohli is in second place, who has scored a total of 394 runs. Suryakumar Yadav, who has so far scored 346 runs in just 7 matches against South Africa, is in third place. If Surya scores 84 more runs in the first match of this series, he will leave both Rohit and Virat behind. Yadav's scoring at an average of 57.66 against this opposing team shows that he is capable of turning the game around at any time. His achievement includes a century and four half-centuries, which prove his consistency and strength.

India's good performance in T20 against South Africa

In the history of T20 International, 9 bilateral series have been played between India and South Africa so far. Of these, the Indian team has won 4 series, while South Africa has managed to win only 2 series. The remaining three series have ended in a draw. In late 2023, the Indian team played a three-match T20 series in South Africa itself, which ended in a 1-1 draw. This time the team has a chance to win, so that they can further improve their win figures.

This tour will be important for captain Surya

In this tour, Suryakumar Yadav has an opportunity to prove himself as a successful captain. Batting in South African conditions and performing on the pitches there has always been challenging, especially for foreign teams. If Surya performs well in captaincy and batting in this series, it can prove to be a milestone in his captaincy career and will be a strong message for the Indian team.

Thus, the Indian team led by Suryakumar Yadav will be eyeing to win this T20 series with a win in South Africa.
