Suryakumar Yadav Defends Six-Batter Strategy After India’s 50-Run Loss to New Zealand in 4th T20I

By IANS News January 29, 2026 • 08:41 AM View: 228

India captain Suryakumar Yadav said the side deliberately fielded six batters and five specialist bowlers in the fourth T20I against New Zealand, describing the 50-run defeat as a useful learning experience ahead of next month’s Men’s T20 World Cup.

After posting 215/7, New Zealand left India, effecting a batter short due to Ishan Kishan’s niggle-enforced absence, struggling at 82/5. Shivam Dube then launched a stunning counter-attack, smashing a 15-ball fifty and eventually made 65 off 23 balls – his career-best score in T20Is laced with seven sixes and three fours.
