Ex-India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar opined that Suryakumar Yadav's extended run without significant scores at number three will create internal scrutiny. "Australian conditions with their bounce and pace should benefit Suryakumar's batting style...Current output does not reflect his true capabilities," he added. Suryakumar has scored 330 runs since becoming India T20I skipper in July 2024.
