Legendary players like KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have returned to the squad for the Asian Cup, which kicks off on August 27. Suryakumar Yadav, however, is part of the 15-member squad at the Asian Cup. But the situation is not clear on what Suryakumar Yadav’s role will be now. Cricket expert Aakash Chopra believes that Suryakumar Yadav does not play with his place in the team in mind.
Suryakumar Yadav has performed brilliantly for the last few years in big tournaments like IPL. But after a long wait, Suryakumar Yadav got the opportunity to make his debut in the T20 series against England in 2021. However, Suryakumar Yadav has managed to capitalize on this opportunity in the T20 format to the fullest.
Aakash Chopra said: “Suryakumar is excellent. When you get a chance too late, you don’t want to let it go. But looking at Suryakumar’s batting, he doesn’t seem like he plays with his place in the team. This is what makes Suryakumar different.
Suryakumar was given the task of opening against the West Indies. On this, Aakash Chopra said: “You have Suryakumar open. According to me it was not good. But he also managed to score runs in this position. Whether he is sent up or down, his strike rate does not go down. This shows the confidence of Suryakumar.
We tell you that currently Suryakumar Yadav is the number one batsman for Team India in T20 format. Suryakumar Yajav has scored 672 runs in 23 T20 games played so far with an average of 37.33 and a strike rate of 175.45. Suryakumar Yadav has recently become the number two batsman in the ICC T20 rankings.
