Tilak Varma confident one innings will bring out best of Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has received backing from teammate Tilak Varma, who said the out-of-form India T20I skipper "needs just one innings" to rediscover the mojo with which he once dominated bowlers like a marauder. Tilak also described Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy as the team's "go-to" bowlers, after setting up India's 30-run win in the fifth T20I against South Africa and a 3-1 series triumph here on Friday. "I was just saying (to him) that just middle a few balls, just wait and just be calm and take the few balls' times," Tilak told reporters. "If (the) team wants I can get going from the other side, (but) you just be on the crease and take some time. Take the feel of the middle of the bat, that's what I was talking to him." Tilak scored a 42-ball 73 and added 105 runs with Hardik Pandya (63) to power India to 231/5, and in reply, South Africa ended at 201/8. While each of the Indian batters including Abhishek Sharma (34) and Sanju Samson (37) contributed, Suryakumar's 7-bal

Hope India and South Africa clash again in T20 World Cup final: Conrad

South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad termed his team's tour of India a very successful one and hoped that the two teams meet once again in the final of the next year's T20 World Cup. India are the defending champions of the T20 World Cup when they co-host the tournament from February 7 to March 8 along with Sri Lanka, having defeated the Proteas in a thrilling final in the last edition in 2024. We've got some work to do still, there's no doubt. But the good thing is that the boys have got a month of SA20 coming up and that will also be really good prep in honing their skills to ensure that when the West Indies arrive on our shores we're ready for that, Conrad told the media after the fifth T20I, which India won by 30 runs to clinch their five-match series 3-1. and then obviously the World Cup, that's the big thing. So whilst we didn't get the results we wanted here in the (T20I) series, I'd like to think this might be the World Cup's finalists (of 2024) in the next World Cup as wel

I am not out of form, just out of runs for now, says Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav on Sunday acknowledged the shortage of runs from him but India's T20I skipper did not count it as lack of form, saying that runs will come sooner than later. Suryakumar made an 11-ball 12 in India's seven-wicket win over South Africa in the third T20I here before getting out to Lungi Ngidi. It extended his run of low scores to 21 innings, with the exceptions being his 75 against Bangladesh in Hyderabad on October 24, and an unbeaten 47 against Pakistan during September's Asia Cup. I've been batting beautifully in the nets. When the runs have to come, they'll come. Not out of form, definitely out of runs, said Suryakumar in the post-match presentation. The outing also reduced Suryakumar's average in T20Is in 2025 to a paltry 14.20 with two matches against South Africa remaining. But he was happy with the way India bounced back from the defeat in the second T20I. I think this sport teaches you a lot of things. How you come back into the series is more important. An
