A 3-match T20 series is going to start between India and Sri Lanka from 27 July. This series is going to be very special for Suryakumar Yadav. He will lead Team India in this series. It is believed that Suryakumar has been made the captain of this format for a long time. If the team's performance remains good under his captaincy, then he can also lead the team in the T20 World Cup 2026. But a former Indian cricketer has made a big prediction on Surya. This veteran believes that Surya will not be seen playing in a major ICC tournament.

Will Surya not play this big tournament?

Actually Suryakumar Yadav was made the captain of the T20 team but he has been dropped from the ODI team.

In such a situation, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a big prediction. He believes that T20's Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the Champions Trophy because he is not fitting in the ODI team. Let us tell you, the Champions Trophy is to be played in Pakistan early next year. Before this, India will get only 6 ODIs, out of which it will play 3 ODIs against Sri Lanka and Surya is not a part of the team in these ODI matches.

Big prediction by Aakash Chopra

Talking about Suryakumar Yadav on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Suryakumar Yadav was part of the team that reached the ODI World Cup 2023 final.

He was also in the team that played the T20 World Cup 2024 final. But Surya is no longer a part of the ODI team. In such a situation, when a question was asked about Surya, it was said that he is an excellent and special player but will be seen playing only in T20 Internationals. His name was not considered in ODIs. If his name is not being discussed and the Champions Trophy is about to come, then you can assume that Surya will not be seen in the Champions Trophy.

Agarkar had said a big thing in the press conference

Ajit Agarkar had given a big reason behind not making Suryakumar Yadav a part of the ODI team on this tour. Ajit Agarkar had said that we have not discussed about Surya in ODIs. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have returned to the ODI team. Both these players had performed brilliantly in the World Cup. At the same time, Rishabh Pant has also come into the team. Therefore, Suryakumar Yadav will remain in T20 for now. It is also clear from this statement of Agarkar that it is difficult for Surya to get a chance in the ODI team even in the coming times.
