When Suryakumar Yadav failed to get a place in the starting XI at the Indore test, Ricky Ponting says no, I don’t think Suryakumar Yadav was unlucky. Actually, Ricky Ponting believes that the Indian team was waiting for Shreyas Iyer to be fully fit. How Shreyas Iyer has performed in Test cricket in the last 12 months.
