Indian cricket fans are expressing their frustration and disappointment with Suryakumar Yadav after his underwhelming performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 final.
Yadav was dismissed for just three runs, getting out to a shot straight to the fielder off his trademark flick shot, which has led to a flood of criticism on social media.

Fans were quick to point out that Yadav has repeatedly failed to deliver in crucial matches, drawing parallels to his performance in last year's 50-over World Cup final. In the final against South Africa, the Indian top-order crumbled with Rohit Sharma (9) and Rishabh Pant (0) departing in the second over to Keshav Maharaj, leaving India struggling at 45/3 in the powerplay.
One fan tweeted, "I have said this before and saying this again, Surya Kumar Yadav is the most overrated cricketer in the 200+ year history of the game," reflecting the growing discontent among supporters. Another fan sarcastically commented on Yadav's shot selection, saying, "Surya you could have avoided your Bharatnatyam for some time."
The criticism didn't stop there, with many fans pointing out Yadav's failure to live up to expectations in high-stakes games. "Not for once did Surya Kumar Yadav live up to the hype apart from Paytm trophies," one fan wrote, suggesting that Yadav only performs well in less significant bilateral series.
Another fan highlighted Yadav's tendency to disappoint in big matches, tweeting, "Never underestimate the ability of Surya Kumar to disappoint in big games." Some fans even went as far as to call for Yadav to be restricted to domestic leagues, with one saying, "Surya Kumar Yadav should be confined to Mumbai Indians for life. WTF."
The frustration was palpable, especially from fans who had high hopes for Yadav in the final. "I was mad at Surya after the 50-over final loss. Today that madness is going to convert into extreme hate if India does not win today," a fan expressed, showing the intense emotions surrounding the match.
India's struggle in the final has only added fuel to the fire, with fans hoping for a strong comeback from the remaining batsmen to salvage the match. As the game progresses, all eyes will be on the Indian team to see if they can overcome their early setbacks and secure a victory in the T20 World Cup final.
