Fans on Twitter reacted after India National Cricket Team skipper Suryakumar Yadav bagged a duck in the ongoing game against England National Cricket Team. The first game of the five-match T20I series between the teams is taking place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Suryakumar Yadav, who came to bat at No.3, struggled to get going as he was back in the hut after playing just three balls. He walked out to bat after the India National Cricket Team lost Sanju Samson after a blistering start with the bat in the match.

Suryakumar Yadav attempted to take attack to the bowlers right from the start

Suryakumar Yadav attempted to take attack to the bowlers right from the start but he couldn't. He perished to Jofra Archer as he looked to hit the fast bowler out of the park. The India National Cricket Team skipper bagged a three-ball duck as the team lost the second wicket.

Jofra Archer bowled a 124.6kph, slower ball on a back of a length. Suryakumar Yadav shuffled into the flick as the ball lobbed up in the air off the leading edge. Keeper-batter Phil Salt waited under the high ball and stretched both his arms in the end to safely pouch it.

Suryakumar Yadav bagged his third successive duck following the two with Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy

Suryakumar Yadav, since the last few innings, has struggled to get going. It has been a month since the India National Cricket Team has scored a run. It was a third successive duck following the two with Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. This was also his first T20I duck in over two years.

Suryakumar Yadav also struggled to get going in the four-match T20I series against South Africa National Cricket Team. It was expected that he would set the stage on fire in the new series but it wasn't the case as his poor run with the bat continued.

However, thankfully, that didn't cost the India National Cricket Team much. Abhishek Sharma slammed a magnificent half-century and ended with an innings of 79 runs that helped his team win the game by the margin of 7 wickets.
