De Villiers emphasised that while repeated dismissals to similar deliveries might appear to be a flaw in technique, they are opportunities for the batter to adjust and refine his approach.

India's 360 degree batter and T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav was the most prolific batter in the shortest format of the game. However, the aggressive batter has been in the spotlight recently due to a dip in form.

In response, former South Africa great and cricket legend AB de Villiers has shared his thoughts on how the Mumbai batter can return to his best in the shortest format.

According to De Villiers, Suryakumar’s recent challenges are largely mental rather than technical. He emphasised that while repeated dismissals to similar deliveries might appear to be a flaw in technique, they are opportunities for the batter to adjust and refine his approach.

"Suryakumar needs to see these situations as chances to rotate the strike and find gaps, rather than always going for the big hits. Intelligence in shot selection, particularly against slower balls, can be more effective than raw aggression in T20 cricket," said De Villiers.

"With the right mindset and small tweaks in approach, Suryakumar has the tools to return to his top form and continue being a key player for India,” the former great added.

Notably, Suryakumar has struggled with consistency, scoring only 100 runs in 11 innings this year, averaging just 11.11.
