On Saturday, June 6th, a new era was announced in Indian cricket. Suryakumar Yadav was removed from the captaincy, replacing Shreyas Iyer as the T20I captain. Suryakumar Yadav, who led India to their third T20 World Cup victory, was also relieved from the team duties. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar stated in a press conference that he spoke with Surya before the team selection and made this important decision in the team’s best interest.

35-year-old Suryakumar Yadav may have been dropped from the team, but he’s ready to roar again like a wounded lion. On June 6th, it was announced in the afternoon that Suryakumar was not part of India’s T20 squad. In the evening, Surya made his presence felt with a bang with the bat.

Surya made a blast in Mumbai T20 League

Suryakumar Yadav is in no mood to rest after IPL 2026. He is participating in the Mumbai T20 League 2026. In Saturday’s match, he made a blast with the bat, scoring 48 runs in 24 balls at a strike rate of 200. Surya is the captain of the Triumphs Knights MNE team in T20 Mumbai 2026. In the match against SoBo Mumbai Falcons, he played a stormy inning of 48 runs in 24 balls. Playing at a strike rate of 200, Suryakumar Yadav hit 3 fours and 4 sixes.

Now, the big question is whether Suryakumar Yadav will be able to return to India’s T20I team. He is currently 35 years old and still has a lot of cricket left in him. He is also fully fit and is mostly active in T20 cricket. From this perspective, he can definitely make a comeback to Team India. If poor form is the reason for his ouster, the door is still open for Surya, provided he returns to form and scores a lot of runs in domestic cricket.
