India captain Surya Kumar Yadav starred with a brilliant 84-run innings against the USA, setting a new T20 World Cup record. He became the second-highest run-scorer in a captain’s debut T20 WC match, surpassing Babar Azam (68 vs India, 2021). Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle (88 vs Australia, 2009) still holds the top spot in this elite list.
