Suryakumar Rescues India After USA Shocks Early in T20 Thriller
India finds itself on the edge after a dramatic showdown at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, with the USA seizing early control of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup clash. The American bowlers, led by Ali Khan and Shadley van Schalkwyk, ripped through India’s top order, leaving the defending champions reeling at 46 for 4 inside the powerplay. Abhishek Sharma fell for a golden duck, while Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma offered brief resistance before succumbing in quick succession. Shivam Dube was dismissed without scoring and suddenly India’s prospects looked uncertain.
But then, the innings took a decisive turn. Suryakumar Yadav, leading India as captain, anchored the middle and lower order with masterful composure. Joining forces with Axar Patel and later tailenders, Yadav turned what seemed a collapse into a competitive total. His unbeaten 84 off 49 balls combined caution and aggression, threading exquisite drives and towering sixes that thrilled the Wankhede crowd. The innings was a study in timing and temperament, allowing India to reach 161 for 9 in their 20 overs.
