After Asia Cup Win, Srikkanth Criticizes Suryakumar’s ‘Pin Code’ Scores, Questions Gill’s T20 Role

The 1983 World Cup winner said India’s T20 batting leadership is underperforming following the tournament, citing poor returns from Suryakumar Yadav along with vice-captain Shubman Gill.

Overview

  • Srikkanth said Suryakumar Yadav has let him down, comparing the captain’s frequent low scores to a pin code and labeling his form very concerning.
  • Suryakumar totalled 72 runs in the Asia Cup with a lone 47 not out against Pakistan and finished with a sequence of 0, 5, 12, and 1, including a single run in the final.
  • For 2025, reports note Suryakumar has only 100 T20I runs in 11 innings and 330 runs across 20 innings as captain, underscoring a prolonged slump.
  • The former selector also targeted Shubman Gill’s T20 impact, saying he looks less threatening in the format despite being vice-captain; Gill managed 127 runs in the tournament.
  • He warned the current lineup is not right for the next T20 World Cup even though India went unbeaten to lift the Asia Cup, with a five-match T20I series against Australia set to begin on October 29.
