India were bundled out by Pakistan for just 119 runs in the ICC T20 World Cup clash in New York, with one of their best batsmen, Suryakumar Yadav scoring just 7 runs in 8 deliveries for his side. Suryakumar has been known for his power-hitting and his ability to score runs quickly but has been underwhelming at the biggest stage in T20 cricket.
In the opening game of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup against Ireland, Surya managed to score just 2 runs off 4 deliveries before getting dismissed, but it was shadowed since India managed to cruise to a comfortable eight wicket victory.
