Suryakumar Yadav admits he did not put in enough effort in ODIs
Suryakumar Yadav admitted he did not put in enough effort in ODIs and addressed his removal as T20I captain.
Suryakumar Yadav admitted he did not put in enough effort to succeed in the 50-over format and took responsibility for his limited impact in ODI cricket. The batter expressed disappointment with his own approach and said he takes the blame himself for failing to crack the longer format.
Suryakumar also addressed his removal as India's T20I captain after leading the team to T20 World Cup victory. He said he had been planning for the next two years when selectors informed him it was time to move on. He did not question the decision to hand the captaincy to Shreyas Iyer.
The batter contemplated whether he should continue playing cricket after the sacking. His wife helped him rediscover his passion for the game during that period. Suryakumar remains available for selection whenever the selectors deem it appropriate.
CricHubb Take
The BCCI's decision to hand T20I captaincy to Shreyas Iyer after Suryakumar's World Cup win suggests a deliberate shift toward longer-term leadership stability rather than short-term success.
