Is SuryaKumar Yadav the most overrated/overhyped player ever?

Even if surya scores duck in every single match from here on, he would have still done better than every pakistani batter ever .
The guy has unreal stats even after a pro longed slump he averages 38 with a strikte rate or 166! And it is not a small sample size either.
Age might be catching up with him but he will retire as a t20 legend.
 
Surya was top class T20 player, currently he is useless . :kp
Being out of form doesnt make one useless. Every cricketer has tone through this. Surya has lot of credit left in his account and India can afford to give him a little more time.

If he doesnt recover he can then retire as one of the greatest to play this format

Surya Kumar Yadav last 10 innings in t20

5(11 ), 47 (37), 7 (2), 2 (3), 0 (4), 14 (7), 12 (7),0 (3),1 (4), 4 (9)

These are more than enough game to replace him. We have so Many well deserved player's who are waiting for their chance.

Jaiswal, Iyer and Rinku easily can replace him now.

T20 cricket cannot afford out of form players. Sure they need some rope after stellar 2 years . But you would rather go with inform batsmen. THis is not test format to use that age old adage "Class is permanent, Form is temporary" and back players. Class, Form everything is temporary in this format. You just milk it when they are in form. When they go out of form move on to next batch.
 
Suryakumar Yadav is the biggest liability in this team in the last 2 yrs,he is no longer the same sky which we used to know.He is the captain and it's a big worrying sign.

He is not the clutch,he was avg in world cups.He is not the man for big occasion

Proven match winners always get longer rope- irrespective of format. Remember how kohli was scratchy for a long term and then won the game against pak with that Rauf 6.

Aldo going by that - would you move on from Bumrah because he has been out of form too?

I am not saying you are right or wrong but if you identify a player with skill and talent they get a long rope. Plus if you have an already established t20 legend you should give him longer rope. (According to me)

I know he has been going through a very bad patch. But I would give him another series for sure as he is just coming out of surgery.

Rinku is not the answer. He has not been scoring any runs for India and in IPL for last 1.5 years. He has been found out with that rising ball into the shoulder length.

SKy's form has been falling steeply ever since he took over captaincy. Given his age i think it is time to move on.

What if the form slump is related to the captaincy. Some people just cant handle both together.
Maybe its worth to him as a batter first a couple for a series to see if thats the case.
 
He is going through a bad patch of form in T20s and that’s why these failures are coming. His overall career record is phenomenal and will make it to India’s all time T20I XI.
 
He has been completely exposed on slow pitches. He relies too much on the ball coming on to this bat. Think father time has caught up with him as well.

India should kick him out if they know what's good for them.

Absolute trash fraud. Choker too

See his performances vs pakistan.

Worst player vs them every time.
 
Suryakumar Yadav cautious despite India’s T20I dominance

India’s T20I captain reflects on the team’s growth, praising unity and experience while stressing the importance of constant improvement in the format.

With the T20 World Cup fast approaching early next year, India seem to have covered all their bases. The defending champions have won each of the seven T20I series they have been a part of since they recaptured the T20 World Cup last year, with their most recent being a 2-1 series victory in Australia.

Their tally in the format stands at an impressive 26 wins and four losses over this duration.

“There's never anything like all bases covered. We always learn from this game, every game we play. Yeah, till now things look good, touch wood, let's continue that."

He spoke of his side’s camaraderie, "I'm very lucky to have all these boys with different skills. They bring very different things to the table. When we chat about the bowling, batting, and fielding, you must have seen a lot of energy on the ground. People enjoy when they go together on the ground,” said the India captain.

Yadav also praised India’s batting approach, “From a batting point of view, definitely what we've been doing in the last six to eight months, I think we're sticking to that, not changing anything.”

He was full of praise of opening pair, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, who seemed to be in full flow before the stoppage of the final T20I game as they amassed 52 runs in 4.5 overs.

“These guys are doing it really well. The way they bat at the top of the order puts a smile on everyone's face when they're batting together.”

Abhishek and Gill were also the leading run-scorers in the T20I series with 163 and 132 runs respectively.

Abhishek Sharma also reached the milestone of 1000 runs in T20Is in the rain-curtailed innings as he achieved the feat in the fewest number of balls faced.

The Indian T20I captain also praised the bowling attack led by ICC Men’s Player of the Year 2024, Jasprit Bumrah, “And also from a bowling point of view as well, people are taking responsibility. Having an experienced bowler like [Jasprit] Bumrah around in the team and everyone chatting with him, learning a lot of skills, tricks and trade of the game, I think that's a good thing.”

India’s bowlers were in form in the T20I series as Varun Chakravarathy was India’s leading wicket taker with five wickets, closely followed by left-arm pacer. Arshdeep Singh, who was one shy.

India now have two more bilateral series at home against South Africa and New Zealand as they gear up to retain their T20 crown in the next three months.

India’s first T20I against South Africa takes place on December 9 at Cuttack, prior to which they will take on the Proteas in two Tests and three ODIs.
