Suryakumar Yadav will lead Team India in the five-match T20I series, which will be played in Australia from October 29 to November 8. The Men in Blue had earlier lost the three-match one-day series under Shubman Gill's captaincy 2-1. The five-match T20I series will be significant with regard to preparations for the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will be held in India and Sri Lanka in February-March.
On an individual level as well, the series will be extremely crucial for Suryakumar. He hasn't scored a lot of runs over the last year in the format in international cricket. Even as Team India won the Asia Cup under his leadership, the skipper had a forgettable tournament with the bat. He managed only 72 runs in six innings at an average of 18 and a strike rate of 101.40.
