Suryakumar Yadav set to become third Indian cricketer after Kohli, Rohit to register major record

India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is only 212 runs short of becoming the third Indian cricketer, after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, to complete 3000 or more runs in T20I cricket history. 

The veteran batter has amassed 2788 runs in the format and in the upcoming five-match clash against New Zealand, he will hope to find his old form and eventually complete the milestone. 

Suryakumar Yadav is only 25 runs short of completing 9000 runs in T20 cricket. He will become the fourth player



after Rohit, Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan to reach the landmark.

However, more than the milestones, Suryakumar getting his mojo back is what’s important at the moment. The veteran has struggled massively in international cricket as of late, scoring only 44 runs in the last four matches. There were plenty of talks about his future in the format, especially with the T20 World Cup 2026 coming up, but the team management and the board backed the India international, who now desperately needs runs behind his back.
