India captain Suyrakumar Yadav was the lone warrior for the hosts who had a struggling start to the proceedings in the T20 World Cup 2026. The home side lost early wickets in the first match against USA in the marquee event in Mumbai and suffered a collapse to get reduced to 77/6.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav then came in for the rescue and held the fort from one end t chip in with a crucial knock of unbeaten 84 off 49 which included four maximums and 10 fours.

Those who say Suryakumar Yadav is a minnow basher. Let me remind you, he is the same guy who
– Saved collapse against South Africa in 2021 T20 WC, scored 68 runs, when team got all out on 133
– Scored 50 against USA in 2024 T20 WC when other batting collapsed
– Scored 31(16)… pic.twitter.com/ILdS8ymeya

While India lost wickets at regular intervals, Surya provided the resistance from one end and helped the side put 161/9 in 20 overs.
Covering sports for fun. Cricket in whites remains the first love—the kind that teaches patience, rewards nuance, and tells stories over five days rather than five seconds.
