Row Intensifies Over Suryakumar Yadav’s Removal from T20 Captaincy, SP Leader Levels Political Charges

A controversy has erupted over the removal of former Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, with political reactions adding a new dimension to the cricketing decision.

Samajwadi Party (SP) MLC Ashutosh Sinha has alleged that Suryakumar Yadav was removed from the T20 captaincy because he belongs to the “PDA” community — a political term referring to Pichhda (backward classes), Dalit, and Alpsankhyak (minorities).

Sinha further claimed that the decision was taken under the influence of Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that Suryakumar’s removal came at his direction. The remarks have triggered sharp reactions in political circles and among cricket fans.

However, no official statement has been issued by the BCCI regarding these allegations. Decisions concerning team leadership are generally made by selectors and cricket board officials based on performance, fitness, team combination, and future planning.

The issue has now sparked debate beyond cricket, turning into a political flashpoint as opposition leaders question the circumstances behind the captaincy change.
