Mumbai: It has only been a couple of days since the IPL season ended. However, Mumbai’s domestic T-20 league (T20 Mumbai League 2026) has already been launched. In the very first match of that league, Ajinkya Rahane’s North Mumbai Panthers beat Suryakumar Yadav-led Triumph Knights by 21 runs. His team lost this match, Suryakumar Yadav himself failed with the bat.

Chasing 210 runs, Nutan Goyal played an innings of 93 runs for the Knights. But despite this the rest of the team did not get enough runs and at no time did the Knights look like they could win the match. They failed to maintain the required run rate. As a result they have to be defeated. In the match, after both the openers were dismissed for short runs in the batting innings of the Knights, the World Twenty20 captain of the Indian team Suryakumar Yadav came to bat at the crease. In this match organized by Wankhede, the cheering of the spectators in the stands was palpable.

But Surya did a good start. He went down and hit four boundaries in quick succession. However, Suryakumar was forced to return to Sajghar for just 19 runs by Rahul Sawant. Although Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team won the World Cup this year, his form in the mega tournament has come under question. After that IPL didn’t go too well for Surya either. In the recently concluded IPL, Surya scored 270 runs at an average of just 20.77 and a strike rate of 147.54, with two fifties coming from his bat. After that, this failure with the bat in Mumbai’s domestic T20 league. It goes without saying that the pressure on the sun is increasing.

Surya’s captaincy is due to this form Indian teamThere is also a question about getting a place. Majority of the members of the national selection committee have voted in favor of dropping this out-of-form batsman from the captaincy as well as from the team. However, according to cricket circles, Sky’s fate ultimately depends on the decision of the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir.

According to a reliable BCCI source, the committee of five selectors headed by Ajit Agarkar is no longer willing to go ahead with Suryakumar. His performance over the last one year has been very ordinary. According to a section of the board, the process of building the youth team should start now with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in mind. A senior associated with the BCCI said, ‘First the selectors were thinking, like last time IPLThis will once again help Suryakumar Yadav get back into the groove, when he scored over 700 runs. But surprisingly, there was no technical correction in his batting. Even the very young pacers are putting pressure on him by just straight hard length balls, and Suryakumar has no answer. The selectors don’t think he will play in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.’
