7th successive failure for Suryakumar Yadav in T20Is: Key stats
What's the story
India's T20I skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, fell for a four-ball duck in the 4th T20I against England at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
Suryakumar arrived when India were reduced to 12/2 from 12/0 in the 2nd over.
After surviving the first three balls, he fell prey to Saqib Mahmood, who claimed a triple-wicket maiden.
This was Suryakumar's 7th straight failure with the bat in T20Is.

Mahmood's three-wicket burst includes Suryakumar
A short ball angled into the body of Sanju Samson did the batter in.
In came Tilak Varma and he decided to give a charge. He ran down the wicket and tried, but the ball angled away and flew off the outside edge toward third man.
Suryakumar then shuffled across to whip a ball but was caught at short mid-on.
