Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav slump in form continued during the third T20I against England at Rajkot on Tuesday.

He scored just 14 runs off seven balls, including a four and a six. His scores during this series have been: 0, 12, and 14.

This slump has affected his overall T20I stats, with his batting average dropping below 40.

In 81 T20Is, he has scored 2,596 runs at an average of 39.33, with a strike rate of 167.70. He has hit four centuries and 21 fifties, with a best score of 117.

In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament, Suryakumar had a mixed outing, scoring 132 runs in five innings at an average of 26.40, with just one half-century and a best score of 70. A 48-run knock in the final helped guide Mumbai to the title.
