It is noteworthy that Surya’s performance this year has been full of ups and downs in the shortest format of the game. So in the last three matches played against South Africa, he has been able to score only 26 runs. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Before the fourth T20 match to be held between South Africa and India in Johannesburg, through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – Is Suryakumar Yadav’s T20I form a matter of concern?
