Ishan Kishan vs Suryakumar Yadav - comparing their stats after 32 T20Is

Ishan Kishan has earned a well-deserved comeback to the Indian team for the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will take place in February-March. The left-handed batter was picked in the squad ahead of Shubman Gill. The latter was India's vice-captain in the recently concluded T20I series against South Africa, but has been dropped on the basis of poor batting form.

Kishan was excellent in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26, leading Jharkhand to victory. He was the top run-getter in the T20 tournament, scoring 517 runs in 10 innings at an average of 57.44 and a strike rate of 197.32. The southpaw hammered two centuries and two half-centuries, which included 101 off 49 balls in the final of the tournament against Haryana.

Kishan has featured 32 T20Is so far, the last of which came in November 2023. In this feature, we compare his stats with those of skipper Suryakumar Yadav after the latter had also played the same number of T20I matches.
