The injury happened in the third over of South Africa’s chase, after Proteas opening batter Reeza Hendricks chipped one over the infield. Suryakumar chased down the ball, but hurt his ankle while throwing the ball back to the pitch.

The Indian skipper was soon attended to by the team physio and was later moved to the team dug out. His deputy, Ravindra Jadeja took over the captaincy duties.

Suryakumar had earlier starred for his side with the bat, scoring his fourth T20I hundred in an innings glittered with his trademark inventive strokes.
