New Delhi. T20 superstar batsman Suryakumar Yadav, who flopped in the first two ODIs, is expected to end the drought of runs in Chennai. Surya could not even open his account during the first two matches. First in Mumbai ODI and then in Visakhapatnam Suryakumar Yadav got out on zero. Surya was lbw out on the very first ball of Mitchell Starc’s over. Till now Surya is being given a chance at number-4 in this format but he did not come for batting at his regular place in Chennai. KL Rahul was promoted to bat at number four.
Only captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid can tell the reason for Suryakumar Yadav not being sent at number-4. However, different types of questions are going on in the minds of the fans. Some fans say that this is a right decision. Surya can prove to be more lethal in the lower order. At the same time, there are fans who think that this step has been taken to save Surya and Mitchell Starc from coming face to face.
When KL Rahul came for batting, India’s score was 77 runs at the loss of two wickets. By then Mitchell Starc had bowled four of his 10 overs. In such a situation, it is necessary that the match should be taken till the end and the scoreboard should be taken forward slowly. In such a situation, Hitman expressed confidence in KL Rahul.
The condition of the match does not suit Suryakumar Yadav right now. In such a situation, when India’s score reaches close to Australia’s score, then Surya can play an important role for the team with his 360 degree game.
