Suryakumar predicts India to bounce back at T20 World Cup

India captain Suryakumar Yadav believes his side can bounce back quickly from their loss to South Africa and earn a place in the knockout stages of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

India suffered their first defeat of the T20 World Cup and ended a winning streak of 12 matches when they were beaten by the Proteas by 76 runs in Ahmedabad on Sunday and now face a stiff task to defend the title they famously won in Barbados in 2024.

Suryakumar's side will now most likely need victories against Zimbabwe and the West Indies in their remaining Super Eight fixtures to qualify for the semi-finals, while just one win may also be enough to progress should the Proteas remain unbeaten during the phase.
