India captain Suryakumar Yadav struggled with the bat within the T20 World Cup clash against Namibia at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday, February 12. The precise-handed batsman was dismissed for 12 runs off 13 balls as India lost their third wicket at 120.
The wicket fell within the eleventh over of India’s innings. Bernard Scholtz noticed Yadav coming down the track and cleverly adjusted his delivery on the last moment. The ball straightened, and Yadav was beaten by the flight while attempting a lofted shot.
Namibia’s wicketkeeper Zane Green accomplished the stumping by whipping off the bails, leaving Yadav with no likelihood to make it back to the crease. You’ll be able to watch the video here:

Namibia Responds Strongly Following Kishan And Samson’s Explosive Start
A robust bowling effort helped Namibia fight back after Sanju Samson’s quick start and Ishan Kishan’s half-century for India. On the time of writing, India were 124/4 after 12 overs, with Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube on the crease. The pair will now look to construct a partnership and finish the innings strongly.
Kishan top-scored with 61 runs off 24 balls, including five sixes and 6 boundaries, setting the tone early within the innings, while Samson scored 22 off eight balls with three sixes. Tilak Varma added 25 off 21 deliveries. Gerhard Erasmus was Namibia’s best bowler, taking two wickets in his first three overs.
India now aim to register back-to-back wins after their 29-run victory against the USA within the T20 World Cup 2026 opener. Namibia, meanwhile, lost their opening match to the Netherlands by seven wickets. They are going to attempt to take inspiration from the USA and Nepal to challenge the defending champions, India.
