Selectors take tough call: Surya’s T20 exit like Virat, Rohit’s Test departure | Cricket News

4 min readUpdated: Jun 3, 2026 10:53 PM IST Just three months after Suryakumar Yadav captained India to the T20 World Cup title in Ahmedabad, the 35-year-old has not only been removed as captain but is also unlikely to find a place in the squad when the selectors meet next. Though the decision may raise eyebrows, it goes with this selection committee’s trend of not letting things drift or shying away from making tough calls. Of late, Suryakumar has been in the middle of a slump. In the IPL, he managed just 10 sixes in 13 innings and was overshadowed by the young guns in terms of boundaries and strike rates. Even before the T20 World Cup at home earlier this year, Suryakumar was struggling to find big scores before he hit three fifties in the series against New Zealand to turn a corner. His batting during the World Cup was nothing to write home about. Even Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were not spared when form deserted them. After the series loss in Australia …

In Sonakshi Sinha’s latest film, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s courtroom drama System on Prime Video India, she plays a budding lawyer and the daughter of a top advocate (played by Ashutosh Gowariker), who requires her to win 10 cases in a row as a public prosecutor if she wants to serve as a partner at his reputed law firm. “What is this reverse nepotism?’,” her character asks in the film.

That was the path I’d chosen for myself. Life chose another path for me. That’s a different story,” she says, smiling. “He’s always been …
