Srikkanth Slams Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill After India’s Unbeaten Asia Cup Win

The ex-captain argues the leadership duo’s batting slump raises doubts about India’s T20 plans ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Overview

  • India completed the UAE tournament without a loss and defeated Pakistan in the September 27 final.
  • As captain, Suryakumar Yadav scored 72 runs across seven games with scores of 0, 5, 12 and 1 in his last four, and has about 100 runs in 11 T20I innings in 2025.
  • Shubman Gill, named vice-captain in August, produced 127 runs in seven Asia Cup innings.
  • Kris Srikkanth said Yadav’s scores were “like a pin code” and called Gill not “very deadly” in T20s while questioning their places.
  • He warned the current squad is not right for the next T20 World Cup, with no indication of any response from selectors or the BCCI.
