Nowadays there are many discussions about Suryakumar Yadav. India cricket team is preparing for the World Cup and like last time India needs a specialist batsman for number 4. Although, the first choice of Indian team management is Shreyash Iyer but due to his injury, the team is giving Suryakumar Yadav a chance. Surya was given the chance to play in all three ODI series matches played against Australia, but unfortunately Surya came off with the first ball in all three matches. Since then the market for discussions about Surya has been very hot. Some people believe that the team should stick with Surya, while others believe that instead of Surya, they should go for Sanju Samson.
The name of former Indian cricketer Nikhil Chopra has also been added to this debate. Nikhil has advised the team management to stick with Surya. Talking to News18 Cricket, Nikhil Chopra said that, what he showed last year, he scored more than 1000 runs in T20 format with a strike rate above 180. I think he should be in the World Cup squad. When Surya starts scoring runs, there is no limit for him. Because when he performs, you will win the game. He always bats with a game-winning mentality, so I hope he gets a place in the World Cup Playing XI and the Indian team will follow through with him.
Nikhil Chopra further said that the more games Surya plays, the more experience he will get and his game will also improve and the team will win more matches. When asked about Shreyas Iyer, Nikhil said that it is very unfortunate that he is injured, but injuries are part of the game. When someone gets hurt, a new opportunity is created for another person, this is called sport. Rarely would you hear that a player has never been injured in his entire career. The great Kapil Dev was one of them. So injuries are part of the game, they come and go.
