Indian National Cricket Team T20i Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s poor form continued in the second T20i of the five-match series against England National Cricket Team at Ma Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai on Saturday 25th January.
Suryakumar Yadav again failed with the bat as he was dismissed by 29-year-old English bowler Brydon Carse in the sixth over of the second innings.
Suryakumar Yadav going through a lean patch
India’s Mr 360 has not been in good form with the bat since taking over the leadership of Rohit Sharma’s Indian T20i team.
He was in absolutely sensational form in 2022 and 2023, but there was a big dip in his performance in 2024 and things have been extremely poor in 2025 as well.
In the T20I series opener against the Three Lions at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Suryakumar drew a duck and in the second T20i, he returned to the hut after scoring 12 runs from 7 balls, with 3 fours.
On the fourth ball of the 6th over, Brydon Carse bowled a 141.9 kmph delivery to the Indian captain, who tried to steer it to third man, but was bowled across the room.
The ball then hit the middle of the bat and then turned towards the stumps and India were in a bit of trouble at 58/3. Overall, in his last 10 T20i innings, he has posted scores of 12 (7), 0 (3), 1 (4), 4 (9), 21 (17), 75 (35), 8 (10), 29 (14), 8 (9) and 26 (12).

What happened in the first T20i between India and England?
India produced a superb performance to defeat England by 7 wickets in the first T20i at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
England batted first and struggled against the Indian bowling unit. Arshdeep Singh He gave India an early breakthrough, dismissing Phil Salt and Ben Duckett. Jos Buttler was the lone warrior for England, scoring a fantastic 68 off 44 balls.
He didn’t get much support from the other end though, as Varun Chakravarthy (23/03) ran through the middle order, dismissing Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone and the England skipper. Likewise, Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya contributed two wickets each, restricting England to a total of 132 in 132 overs.
In reply, India chased down the target with ease. Abhishek Sharma He emerged as a standout performer, scouring a 79-ball wicket, which included eight sixes and five fours. Despite losing Sanju Samson (26) and Suryakumar Yadav (0) early to Jofra Archer, Sharma’s aggressive batting ensured India maintained a high rate and ended the chase in just 12.5 runs.
Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy was named player of the match for his outstanding bowling performance.
