For former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, it was a bit of a surprise when India went ahead with Surya as their next T20I captain after the World Cup glory.
Sanjay Bangar said he didn't expect Suryakumar Yadav to become India's T20I captain and admitted that the decision left him shocked
England remained alive in the 5-match T20I series against India by winning the 3rd game by 26 runs in Rajkot. As the action moves to Pune, the focus remains on India's batting line-up.
Several examples come to mind when the topic of modern T20 batters comes up, and two of those striking names are India's Suryakumar Yadav and England's Liam Livingstone.

India had reduced England to 127/8 in 16 overs but allowed the visitors to post 171/9 in 20 overs. In their chase of 172, the hosts managed just 145/9, falling short by 26 runs.
