Delhi: The Indian cricket team had created history by winning the title of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. At that time, Team India did not lose a single match in the entire tournament and won the trophy. After this, Rohit retired from T20 International, due to which it was believed that Hardik Pandya would become the new captain.

However, coach Gautam Gambhir surprisingly expressed confidence in Suryakumar Yadav.

Surya was made the new T20 captain of Team India and under his captaincy the Blue Shirts have achieved continuous success. India first defeated Sri Lanka 3-0 and then made a clean sweep of the series against Bangladesh by 3-0.

Suryakumar led the team to victory by 133 runs in the third T20 match against Bangladesh and won the series. With this victory, Surya has also made a special record. He has become the first Indian captain, under whose captaincy Team India has won two T20 matches by a margin of more than 100 runs.

Earlier, under the leadership of Yadav, India had won a T20 match against South Africa by 106 runs in 2023.

Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have also won one T20 match each under their captaincy by a margin of more than 100 runs.

India's record under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar has so far captained the Indian team in 13 T20 International matches, out of which it has won 10, lost 2 and tied 1 match. He has become India's fourth most successful T20 captain. In the third match against Bangladesh, he played a brilliant inning of 75 runs and completed 2500 runs in his T20 career.
