Suryakumar Yadav is leading Team India in the ongoing Men’s T20 Asia Cup in the UAE. The Men in Blue beat the hosts by nine wickets in their first match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, September 10. The skipper did not have much to do as UAE were all out for just 57. He stayed not out on seven runs from two balls in the short chase.

The 34-year-old, however, could be very important for Team India with the bat in the big match against Pakistan, which will be played in Dubai on Sunday, September 14. Looking ahead, there are high hopes from the right-handed batter for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Suryakumar has a great batting record in T20Is, but he has struggled since becoming captain.

The 360-degree batter has played 84 T20Is so far. In this article, we compare his stats with Nicholas Pooran at the same stage. The attacking West Indies batter retired from international cricket at the age of 29 earlier this year.
