Former Tamil Nadu head coach Sulakshan Kulkarni opined that India T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who's been struggling with his form lately, shouldn't be running after runs. He urged Suryakumar to set small targets of five balls each, adding, "If he can survive 10 to 15 balls, runs will...flow from his bat." Suryakumar scored 218 runs in 21 matches in 2025.
