Suryakumar Yadav, who is celebrating his 35th birthday on Sunday, September 14, entered his name in the history books by becoming the third Indian captain after MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma to win a T20I
match against Pakistan. Under Surya’s leadership, India chased down the target of 129 runs in 15.4 overs on Sunday to secure a big win by 7 wickets over the Men in Green in the Asia Cup 2025 match played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
During his playing days, Dhoni led India in eight T20I matches against Pakistan and won 7 of them. Rohit Sharma won three out of four T20Is against Pakistan, whereas Kohli led India in one T20I match against Pakistan in Dubai on October 24, 2021, but in that fixture, India suffered a humiliating defeat by 10 wickets.
