India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has been roasted by former Pakistan cricketer Bazid Khan, who believes the star batter has failed to shine against Pakistan.

In 5 T20Is between the two sides, Suryakumar has managed just 64 runs, averaging 12.80 with a strike rate of 118.51 – a stark contrast to his otherwise explosive T20 record.

“Suryakumar scores runs against almost everyone, but somehow, against Pakistan, he hasn’t been effective. Whether it is the pace attack or some other reason, it remains an issue,” Bazid said on PTV Sports.

India Team Will Miss the Big Guns – Kohli, Rohit And Jadeja

Bazid further pointed out that India will miss the energy and intensity brought by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, both of whom have stepped away from T20I cricket.

“Look, all these players are high-class. There isn’t anyone here you would say is not of that calibre. But the high intensity that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma brought to the game – that is something India will surely miss,” Bazid added.

He also praised Ravindra Jadeja’s impact, stating his absence leaves a big hole in India’s fielding, batting balance and all-around contributions.

Big Test Ahead For Suryakumar Yadav

With these numbers hanging over him, the Asia Cup 2025 will be a defining moment for Suryakumar Yadav. Can he finally break the jinx against Pakistan and prove Bazid Khan wrong?
