Surya now has the last chance.
Former India opening batsman Wasim Jaffer feels middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav could be dropped from the ODI squad if he doesn’t do well in the ODI series decider against West Indies on Tuesday in Port of Spain.
Bat not moving in ODI format
Suryakumar has taken the world of T20 cricket by storm with his 360-degree hitting game and is currently the vice-captain of India in this format. But he couldn’t find a rhythm for him in ODI cricket, especially in the first two ODIs against the West Indies. ESPN Cricinfo quoted Jaffer as saying I think he will get another chance in the third ODI and it may be his last. Then KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer can come and it will be difficult for them to break into the team.
Surya takes a risky hit
Jaffer also said that because of the way he hits, he makes very risky decisions. He wants to cross the line, sometimes that’s why he has to lose his wicket. In the first ODI, Surya was dismissed lbw for 19 as he tried to sweep the ball off Gudakesh Moti’s left arm. He was dismissed for 24 in the second ODI on Saturday after he sliced ​​straight back into a Moti delivery. Suryakumar averages just 23.8 in 25 ODIs, including two half centuries.
