Before the Champions Trophy, Suryakumar Yadav gave a shock to the fans, decided to retire from this format!

Team India's explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav is known for his explosive innings. When he comes to the crease, he plays such stormy shots from his box, seeing which the whole stadium resonates. But now Suryakumar Yadav is going to disappoint his fans by retiring from Team India. However, he can announce his retirement from only one format of cricket.

Will SuryaKumar Yadav retire?

If media reports are to be believed, Suryakumar Yadav, famous for his T20 prowess and 360 degree shots, may soon announce his retirement from Test cricket. The reason for this is also clear - he played only one Test match last year in 2023 and since then he has not got any chance in this format.

Has not played any Test match for 2 years

Suryakumar played his first and last Test match in 2023 under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in which he could score only 8 runs. Since then, the selectors did not select him for this format again. Now there is a hot discussion that Suryakumar may say goodbye to Test cricket to focus his career only on T20 and ODI cricket.

Performance has been excellent

However, Suryakumar Yadav's performance in first class cricket has been tremendous. He has scored 5656 runs in 86 matches at an average of 42.84, which includes 14 centuries and 29 half-centuries. But he never got a long chance in Team India's Test playing XI, due to which now speculations have intensified about his Test career coming to an end.

Why will Surya retire?

Now the question arises that why does Suryakumar Yadav want to retire from Test cricket? There can be two big reasons behind this -

Not getting many opportunities for Test cricket in Team India - Suryakumar Yadav did not get a place in the Indian Test team in the last few years. During this time, young batsmen were given preference, due to which his Test career could not progress.

Full focus on T20 and ODI - Suryakumar Yadav is currently considered one of the best batsmen in the world in the T20 format. The T20 World Cup is also going to be held in 2024, so he wants to focus fully on his limited overs career.
