India batter Suryakumar Yadav’s last 10 T20 innings had been doing the rounds until a few months ago. Nicknamed SKY due to his initials, a primary reason behind the same was his sky-rocketing form in the shortest format in the last year or so.

Yadav, 32, again finds himself in the middle of immense queries with respect to his last 10 innings. Although the format is ODIs on this particular occasion, a primary reason behind the same is his terrible form in the original white-ball format.
Expected to leave a mark in ODIs especially after his heroics in T20Is, Yadav hasn’t been able to live up to the expectations for some strange reason. A curious case of extremes across the two limited-overs formats, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Yadav is running out of opportunities in the Indian ODI team in an ICC Cricket World Cup year.
Since making his ODI debut in Sri Lanka 20 months ago, Yadav has scored 433 runs across 20 innings at an average of 25.47 and a strike rate of 102.36 with a couple of half-centuries.

| S. No. | Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | Opposition | Ground |
| 1 | 18 | 28 | 1 | 0 | Australia | Ahmedabad |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | New Zealand | Mumbai (WS) |
| 3 | 2* | 1 | 0 | 1 | New Zealand | Bengaluru |

| 9 | 72* | 37 | 6 | 6 | Australia | Indore |
| 10 | 50 | 49 | 5 | 1 | Australia | Mohali |
Yadav, whose two above mentioned half-centuries had come in a bilateral ODI series right before ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, couldn’t really stand tall on his potential in what was his maiden World Cup.
In addition to his knock against England in Lucknow, Yadav was expected to turn the tables in the all-important final against Australia in Ahmedabad. However, an innings uncharacteristic of his playing style didn’t benefit India.
