Batting Stats
Test Cricket
Suryakumar Yadav made his Test debut for India in February 2023 against Australia in Nagpur. However, his performance was not as expected, as he managed to score only 8 runs in his lone innings. Since then, he has not been a regular part of the Indian Test squad, and his Test career remains at a nascent stage with just that single appearance.
In contrast, Babar Azam has established himself as one of the premier batsmen in Test cricket with over 3,000 runs, including seven centuries.
