Suryakumar Yadav, name of the most consistent T20 batters in India. But sometimes this batter is seen in struggles in the ODI format. This time is selected for India’s 15 men’s ODI squad. This is a big responsibility for him. India is playing a three-match ODI series against Australia. Suryakumar Yadav has been selected in the squad against Australia.
While playing the first ODI, India started well. Shubman and Ruturaj gave a smooth start. Gill scored 74 out of 63 and Gaikwad scored 71 out of 77 balls. Iyer got out quickly. KL Rahul played an innings of unbeaten 58 in 63 balls. Suryakumar Yadav came and played an innings of 50 runs in 49 balls. The innings consisted of five boundaries and 1 over boundary with a strike rate of 102.04. India was in a tricky condition but SKY took out the team from that situation.
Suryakumar Yadav’s comment:
He played a responsible innings at Mohali. Because of that half-century, India came out of a crucial situation. While talking this Indian batter said,” I wanted to see what would be my approach without playing the sweep shot. It came well and gave me confidence. I used to do that for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. I once again recalled that and if I get to do that, nothing better.”
He also added,” I was thinking what was going wrong in this format. The white ball is the same, and the color of the clothing is the same. From the management, it was to stretch a little bit the innings, take more time, and see what happens.”
On his performance last match, he said,” I was a little bit relieved, what I was practicing in the four-five practice session, I would be looking to replicate that. The plan remains the same.”
Role in World Cup:
Yadav has been named in India’s 15-member World Cup squad. It is a big responsibility on his shoulders. On the lower middle order. SKY is the name of India’s belief. In any case top orders fail and the middle order doesn’t go well then he can hold the grip of the game. He can also hit hard. He can hit the ball beyond the park. He is going to be India’s one of the key players ahead of the World Cup.
India will play two warm-up matches. On September 30, India will play their first warm-up match against England. On October 3, India will face the Netherlands in the second warm-up match. On October 8, India will start the World Cup campaign against England. This time India has a very balanced team. They have all the possibility to lift the trophy while being the host country.
