India opened their ICC T20 World Cup campaign with a tough win over the United States at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The result was hugely inspired by India’s T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav who stood strong against the USA’s lethal bowling unit and took India to a defendable total in the first innings. Yadav outshined everyone and played according to the situation to guide India to 161/9 at the end of 20 overs.

His explosive and dynamic style of batting came in very handy for the defending champions and gave the world a glimpse of how a leader leads his side from the front. Surya is a modern day T20 powerhouse and is known for his 360 degrees batting style and ability to perform under immense pressure.

Let us take a look at Suryakumar Yadav’s record as a captain across all the formats.

Suryakumar Yadav T20I Record

SKY is possibly one of the finest T20 players that India has ever produced. Although he came into the setup very late in comparison to his peers, the Mumbai Indians batter has left no stones unturned in becoming a regular starter in the shortest format of the game. Surya was handed the captaincy for the first time in November 2023 during a series against Australia before becoming the full-time skipper in 2024 after the retirement of Rohit Sharma.

He has maintained a superb record when it comes to T20Is for India. In fact, he has been one of the most successful skippers in the history of T20 cricket and deserves the world of praise. In 42 matches, India has won 32 games under Surya tutelage while seven games resulted in a defeat and two matches remained resultless.

The men in blue boast a handsome winning percentage of 74.41 under the 35-year-old. India also won the 2025 Asia Cup final against Pakistan under Surya’s captaincy. He has four tons to his name in T20 internationals and recently led India to a win over the United States with a match winning knock.
