Team India's tour of South Africa under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav was quite spectacular. The Indian team won 3-1 in this 4-match T20 series. The last match of the series was played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. In this match, a historic performance was seen from the Indian team. The Indian team scored 283 runs at the loss of 1 wicket in 20 overs. At the same time, South Africa was bundled out for 148 runs in just 18.2 overs. Suryakumar Yadav captained brilliantly in this series and used the bowlers as well as the batsmen well. But now Indian fans are going to miss him.
Let us tell you, Suryakumar Yadav is currently a part of the Indian T20 team and ODI team only. At the same time, Team India does not have to play any white ball match this year, which means Suryakumar Yadav has played his last international match of the year 2024. He will now be seen in action for Team India next year. At the same time, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya also plays only white ball cricket. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya will also play for Team India in the year 2025 only.
Suryakumar Yadav got the command of the Indian T20 team before the Sri Lanka tour this year. The performance of the Indian T20 team under his captaincy was quite memorable. Team India defeated Sri Lanka 3-0, then defeated Bangladesh 3-0 at their own home and now defeated South Africa 3-1 at their own home. Let us tell you, this is also the first time in the history of Indian cricket when Team India has won 3 matches in a T20 series against South Africa. Before this, no captain had been able to accomplish this feat.
At the same time, the year 2024 was special in many ways for Team India in T20 format. The Indian team has played 26 T20 International matches this year, out of which it managed to win 24 matches. He had to face defeat in only 2 T20 matches this year. During this period, India also won T20 series against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. At the same time, it also won the title of 2024 T20 World Cup. In this T20 World Cup, the Indian team won all the 8 matches and returned to the country with the trophy. The then captain of the Indian T20 team was Rohit Sharma, who retired from the T20I format after the tournament itself.
