“Relieved to regain my form” – Suryakumar Yadav before T20 World Cup 2026

Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, Suryakumar Yadav admitted he was relieved to rediscover his touch at a crucial stage. The Indian skipper endured a difficult 2025 in T20Is, scoring just 218 runs in 19 appearances at an average of 13.62 and a strike rate of 123.16.

However, he bounced back in style during the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand. Across five matches, Suryakumar amassed 242 runs at an impressive average of 80.66 and a blistering strike rate of 196.74, including three half-centuries.

“The way we have been playing, it looks like that (the pressure is on us). I am very relieved to get my form back. Good to be back among the runs before a big tournament,” he was quoted as saying by The Indian Express during the captain’s press conference ahead of the T20 World Cup.
