Amid reports of Suryakumar Yadav being removed as India's T20I captain, former India batter Mohammad Kaif said, "Suryakumar...is not a new batter. He is a proven player." "Not being in form is one thing. Even Kohli was out of form for two years," Kaif added. "Suryakumar is on par with Kohli in T20s, he is not less," he stated.
