Suryakumar Yadav, the current Indian captain in the T20 format, wants to talk to one of the greatest cricket players, AB de Villiers. Basically, Suryamumar Yadav requests AB de Villiers to get in touch with him, saying, “AB, if you are listening to this, please get in touch with me quickly.”
AB de Villiers is one of the best batters as he has played more than 300 matches for South Africa in white ball cricket. In those 300-plus matches, he has scored more than 10,000 combined in the ODI and T20 formats. He was also a consistent performer for South Africa in red-ball cricket, as he has more than 8500 runs in test cricket. AB is the fourth-highest run scorer for South Africa in test cricket.

“AB, if you are listening to this, please get in touch with me quickly,” Suryamumar Yadav requests AB de Villiers to get in touch with him
With getting the captaincy role of the Indian cricket team in the T20 format, we have seen Suryakumar Yadav’s form with the bat has gone down massively. There are no big scores, and the pressure is visible. He just recently helped India win the Asia Cup 2025, but his contribution with the bat was minimal.
If I meet him soon, I would like to ask him how he managed to balance his T20I and ODI games,” Suryakumar said while speaking to journalist Vimal Kumar on the latter’s YouTube channel. “I haven’t been able to do so. I thought ODIs should be played like T20Is. I want to ask him what he did to be successful in both formats
AB, if you are listening to this, please get in touch with me quickly. There are three or four important years ahead for me. I’m very keen on playing ODI cricket. Please help me! I couldn’t balance T20Is and ODIs
It is very visible that Suryakumar Yadav has lost his place in the ODI squad for India. The last match that he played for India in the ODI format was the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad. Since then, he has not been able to get his place back in the starting eleven of the Indian ODI team. Suryakumar Yadav is keen to understand how a player like AB managed all the formats while he was playing. This is the reason why he requested AB to meet him and guide him. Surya still has 4-5 years left before he hangs up his boots, and he wants AB to help him.
AB De Villiers responded. He said that he will prepare a lot of questions to ask Suryakumar Yadav. AB was clear that Suryakumar is not planning to play in test cricket and not keep high hopes. He will study Suryakumar Yadav’s game and give him tips for ODI and T20 cricket. Once he is ready, AB will give all solutions to Suryakumar Yadav.
