Team India's captain suffers a serious injury, threat of being out of the series looms!

The first match of the 4-match T20 series between India and South Africa will be played on 8 November at Kingsmead Cricket Stadium in Durban. Team India suffered a major setback before this match. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has been injured before this important series. According to reports, he suffered a serious injury on his hand during the practice session. In such a situation, it is not yet clear whether he will be able to play the first match of the series or not. Let us tell you, that Suryakumar Yadav is also one of the most important players of the T20 team.

Team India got a big shock.

Suryakumar Yadav got hit by a ball on his hand during the practice session. Let us tell you, that Suryakumar Yadav was hit by a ball on his hand during the Buchi Babu tournament as well. Updates are yet to come on how serious Surya's injury is. According to the report, Surya got this injury at the end of the practice session. Earlier, he also participated in the press conference and the captains' photo shoot. But now only 24 hours are left for the first match of this series. In such a situation, whether Surya will be able to recover from the injury before time or not, is a big question at the moment.

Superb stats against South Africa

Suryakumar Yadav's figures against South Africa in the T20 format are quite impressive. Suryakumar Yadav has so far scored 346 runs in 7 innings of T20 matches against South Africa at an average of 57.67. During this, 4 half-centuries and a century have also been seen from his bat. Team India played the last T20 series on the South Africa tour in December 2023. Suryakumar Yadav was the captain of the team then. That 3-match series was tied 1-1. In this series, Suryakumar Yadav scored a half-century and a century. At the same time, one match was washed out due to rain.

Suryakumar Yadav is also the captain of the team, so if he is out of the first match or series, the team's tension will increase double. The management will have to choose another captain in his place. However, Hardik Pandya was also included in the Indian team's squad, who was captaining the T20 team before Surya. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya can get the responsibility of the team in the absence of Suryakumar Yadav.
