Mumbai Indians face Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati with skipper Hardik Pandya’s fitness a key factor. Pandya missed the last game due to illness, and MI will hope his return strengthens their bowling against Rajasthan’s in-form top order

India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has outlined a fearless blueprint for the 2026 T20 World Cup following a 4-1 series win over New Zealand, highlighting squad balance, batting intent, and selection dilemmas ahead of the home tournament.

Virender Sehwag backed Suryakumar Yadav’s young T20 side for the Asia Cup, calling Bumrah India’s ultimate game-changer while stressing batting flexibility and careful workload management for fast bowlers ahead of big tournaments

‘Snakes & Ladders’ is a Tamil original series, and harps heavily on dark humour.

In response, the world champions lived up to their reputation, securing victory with 49 balls remaining. Hardik Pandya spearheaded the assault, smashing an unbeaten 39 off just 16 deliveries, featuring five fours and two sixes. Suryakumar Yadav added a quickfire 29, decorated with three sixes and two fours, while opener Sanju Samson chipped in with a brisk 29 off 19 balls, giving the team a strong start.

At the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Suryakumar previously scored 56 off 28 balls, marking his 20th T20I fifty and his first half-century as India's full-time captain in the format, helping the team reach a total of 213/7.

Markram said left-arm quick Nandre Burger is making his T20I debut in this match.

Suryakumar was hit by a full toss from the team's throwdown specialist Raghu, leaving him in considerable pain.

Now Suryakumar's ODI stats stand at: 659 runs in 29 innings at an average of 28.65 and a strike rate of 105.60, with four half-centuries in 27 innings.

Kohli had become the fastest cricketer to 12,000 ODI runs.

Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh likened him with AB de Villiers.

"There was a moment where Suryakumar played a shot towards Kohli and then two had a stare-off where the former asserted once again that he doesn’t fear anything or anyone.”

Team India coach Ravi Shastri took to twitter to laud the cricketer after his 43-ball unbeaten 79-run knock in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore that saw his side record a five-wicket victory.

After bowlers pulled things back by restricting RCB to 164/6 despite a good start, Suryakumar Yadav, who was ignored for the Australian Tour, scored an unbeaten 79 from 43 balls to steer his team home.
