India captain Suryakumar Yadav returned to form in the rain-abandoned first T20I against Australia at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday, October 29.

India batsman Shreyas Iyer is in stable condition and recovering well from spleen injury, Twenty20 captain Suryakumar Yadav says. Iyer suffered a lacerated spleen on Saturday during India’s victory over Australia in their third one-day international (ODI) when he fell awkwardly while making a catch.

Shreyas Iyer was admitted to the ICU after suffering internal bleeding from what seemed like a rib cage injury at first, but was later said to be a 'laceration injury to the spleen'

Suryakumar Yadav broke a massive record in T20I cricket during the first T20I against Australia at Manuka Oval in Canberra. As soon as Surya hit his second six of the innings, he leapfrogged Martin Guptil in a very rare list that features great names like Rohit Sharma and Jos Buttler.

The latest injury setback for Shreyas Iyer puts his participation in South Africa ODIs, starting from November 30 at home in doubt.

Former India cricketer Abhishek Nayar warns of intense scrutiny on Suryakumar Yadav's poor form ahead of the Australia T20I series. Suryakumar hasn't been in good form ever since being appointed as a full-time T20I captain.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has lauded Suryakumar Yadav for his exceptional stroke play in the first T20I against Australia, describing how the Indian captain virtually toyed with the bowlers. Chopra pointed out that Suryakumar’s unorthodox range of shots often forces bowlers to change their plans, only to end up falling into his trap.

In a rain-marred contest at Canberra, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav lit up the night with a couple of towering sixes - enough to take him into an elite club of T20I power-hitters, becoming only the second Indian after Rohit Sharma to reach 150 sixes in the format.
