India’s T20I captain has scored 201 runs in 19 matches this year. Suryakumar has not been able to score even a single fifty in T20I this year. This right-handed batsman has an average of 14.35 and strike rate of 126.41. On the other hand, Gill has also had a disappointing year in T20I cricket. Gill has scored 263 runs in 14 matches in the shortest format this year. Gill has also not been able to make even a single fifty yet. His average is 23.90 and strike rate is 142.93. Considering the struggles of both the batsmen in T20I cricket this year, Mohammad Kaif feels that India should be more worried about Surya’s form rather than Gill’s. Because a fixed captain cannot be changed. With the T20 World Cup around the corner, Surya’s form is more of a concern for India than Gill’s. India has many opening options, but a fixed captain cannot be changed. The former Indian cricketer wrote on Twitter that South Africa defeated India by 51 runs in the second T20I to level the five-match series 1-1. Chasing 214, India’s innings was all out for 162 runs, giving South Africa a huge win. Earlier, in the first match, Team India had defeated Proteas by 101 runs, when the visiting team was all out for just 74 runs while chasing the target of 175 runs.
