The Indian cricket team will play a three-match T20 series against South Africa and the first match of this series will be played on December 10, 2023, at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium Cricket Ground. In this match, the Indian team will be captained by Suryakumar Yadav, who as captain had led India to a 4-1 victory in the 5-match T20 series against Australia.
Suryakumar Yadav, who was successful against the Kangaroo team on Indian soil, is going to captain Team India for the first time in T20 matches on South African soil, where the conditions will be completely different, so this is going to be a big test of his captaincy. Everyone’s eyes will be on how he performs against this team as a batsman.
Suryakumar has scored 3 half-centuries in 4 matches
Suryakumar Yadav is the world number-one batsman in the T20 format and he has achieved this feat because of his ability to score runs consistently in this format. Actually, out of the 4 matches that Suryakumar Yadav has played against South Africa, he has played three matches on Indian soil while one match has been played in Perth.
That means till now he has not played a single match against this team on their soil. As a batsman, Suryakumar Yadav will face a big test in this series on South African soil.
Talking about Suryakumar Yadav’s performance in T20 matches against South Africa, he has played 4 matches against this team so far in which he has scored 50s in three matches and his best score has been 68 runs. In these matches against this team, he has scored 187 runs. He has an average of 62.33 and an excellent strike rate of 185.14.
The surprising fact is that he scored these runs facing only 101 balls and during this, he hit 16 fours and 12 brilliant sixes. Now the biggest question is whether Suryakumar Yadav can continue his excellent form against this team or not.
