Suryakumar Yadav: Nowadays a lot of discussions are happening about Suryakumar Yadav. The Indian 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 the Indian team management is Shreyash Iyer, but due to his injury, the team is giving chance to Suryakumar Yadav. Surya was given a chance to play in all the three matches of the ODI series played against Australia, but unfortunately Surya got out on the first ball in all the three matches. Since then the market of discussions on Surya is very hot. Some people believe that the team should stick with Surya, while some people believe that instead of Surya, they should bet on Sanju Samson.
Suriya should get a chance: Nikhil Chopra
Former Indian cricketer Nikhil Chopra’s name 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 make it to the World Cup squad. When Surya starts scoring runs, there is no limit to him. Because when he performs, you will win the match. He always bats with the mindset of winning the match, so I hope that he will get a place in the playing XI of the World Cup and the Indian team will continue with him.
Nikhil Chopra further said that the more games Surya plays, the more experience he will get and his game will also get better and the team will win more matches. When asked about Shreyas Iyer, Nikhil said that it is very unfortunate that he is injured, but injury is a part of the game. When someone gets hurt, a new chance is created for someone else, this is called sports. You would rarely hear that a player has never been injured in his entire career. The great Kapil Dev was one of them. So injuries are a part of the game, they come and go.
