T20 WC: Bowled Really Well, But Could Have Batted A Little Bit Better, Says Suryakumar
T20 World Cup: After suffering a crushing 76-run defeat to South Africa in their first Super Eights clash of 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav said though the bowlers did their job well, the batting could have been a little bit better.
India’s chase of 188 on a slow black soil pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium never recovered after losing Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Abhishek Sharma in power-play, thanks to some impeccable bowling from South Africa.
By the time the half-way mark of the chase came, India were five down and were bowled out for 111 in 18.5 overs. "I feel we were always in the game when we started. I think we bowled really well in the beginning, 21 for 3, and the way they batted after that from 7 to 15, I think they batted really well, and then we came back again in the game later on. Overall, if we see, we bowled really well, but we could have batted a little better," said Suryakumar in the post-match presentation ceremony.
