Team India batter Surykumar Yadav is underneath the highlight heading into the deciding third and closing ODI towards Australia on the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday (March 22). The World No. 1 T20 batter has managed back-to-back golden geese within the first two ODI video games – falling in an identical method to Australia’s Mitchell Starc.
However, Suryakumar acquired backing from his head coach Rahul Dravid forward of the Chennai ODI. “Obviously, it’s unfortunate for Shreyas (Iyer) to get injured – he’s one of those guys we think will bat for us at No. 4 and he has been given a lot of time in that position. Not really concerned so much about Suryakumar. You have got two first-ballers against two pretty good balls,” Dravid stated within the pre-match presser of the sequence decider.
Dravid additional added that the middle-order batter has performed a whole lot of T20 cricket however hasn’t had the possibility to play in ODI tournaments. “One of the things about Surya is he is also learning the 50-over game a little bit. The T20 game is slightly different. Even though he hadn`t played for India for a long time, in T20 cricket, he played nearly ten years of IPL, and a lot of IPL cricket, which is a tournament that is like international cricket,” Dravid stated.
“He has played a lot of high-pressure T20 games but in one-day cricket, there’s no equivalent tournament in domestic cricket, you’ll have to play Vijay Hazare Trophy and all that. Even though he has played a lot of T20 cricket, I think he has not played a lot of one-day cricket. We just need to give him some time and be patient with him. We certainly see the upside of him doing well, which is very good for the side,” he added.
So whereas Suryakumar Yadav could get a lifeline, one change that India can take into account could possibly be bringing in Washington Sundar in to exchange Kuldeep Yadav. All three of India’s spin bowling choice within the second ODI have been left-armers. Sundar may present much-needed selection on his residence floor on the Chepauk.
In the Australian aspect, veteran opener David Warner may return to the aspect together with Glenn Maxwell is each are declared match for the third ODI. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been sensational since despatched to open the batting within the first ODI of the sequence in Mumbai and is anticipated to proceed on this place with Warner.
