Nagpur, Jan. 21 -- As Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav steps into Nagpur for his 100th T20I match, making him only the fourth from his country to do so, the captain will be hoping for a new beginning this year after battling poor form for the last entire year.

Once capable of flooding the entire ground with what seemed to be an endless torrent of runs, Suryakumar could barely fill a bucket last year, scoring just 218 runs in 19 innings at a shockingly poor average of 13.62 and a strike rate of 123.16, befitting a batter trying to crack the short format code, not one of its biggest masters.

While fantastic leadership and results have helped his form slip under the radar till now, it is now over as SKY has to bring his 'A' game considering...
