Not only this, he will not even be selected in Team India now. There are reports that Suryakumar Yadav’s name will not be considered for selection.

Team India’s performance under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav Became the captain of the T20 team in the year 2024. He had replaced Rohit Sharma, who had said goodbye to this format after winning the T20 World Cup. When Surya became the captain, he was the number 1 batsman in T20 International. He was given preference over Hardik Pandya who was the number 1 contender for captaincy at that time. Team India performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. The team won 8 consecutive T20 series and along with this the Indian team captured the 2025 Asia Cup. After this, the Indian team also won the T20 World Cup and the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav proved to be successful.
Why was Suryakumar Yadav expelled?
Team India performed well under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav but he could not prove himself as a batsman. In the year 2024, this player was able to score only 429 runs at an average of 26.81 and in 2025, he scored only 218 runs in 19 innings at an average of 13.6. In the year 2026, this player definitely scored 484 runs at an average of 44 but in the T20 World Cup, this player did not live up to the expectations.
Who will become the captain in place of Suryakumar Yadav?
If Suryakumar Yadav is stepping down from the captaincy, then who will lead Team India in his place? The answer to this question is coming out in the form of Shreyas Iyer. It is being told that Shreyas Iyer may return to the T20 team and he can become the next T20 captain. This player has proved his quality as a captain. By the way, the name of Rajat Patidar is also there who made RCB the IPL champion twice in a row and he himself showed his mettle as a batsman. Team India’s new T20 captain may be announced soon.
