Suryakumar Yadav to be seen in action in the 2024 Duleep Trophy
Earlier this year, Suryakumar Yadav was appointed the T20I skipper of Team India after Rohit Sharma hung up his boot in the shortest form. In his first assignment, he managed to sweep the T20I series against Sri Lanka as he led Team India to a 3-0 win over the Islanders. He also played in the Buchi Babu tournament alongside Team India batters Shreyas Iyer and Sarfaraz Khan.
Suryakumar Yadav will next be seen in action in the Duleep Trophy. He will be playing under Ruturaj Gaikwad for Team India C. He will be looking to make his comeback in the Test side for the series against Bangladesh after his solitary appearance against Australia in 2023.
The 33-year-old will be seen in action for Team India against Bangladesh in the three-match T20I series starting October 6.
