Mumbai – Former Indian player Gautam Gambhir wants Suryakumar Yadav, who is in good form, to bat for Team India for the third time in the Asia Cup cricket. Gambhir told a sports media that one person’s return to form should not affect another’s performance.
“I have a reason to say this. Don’t play with someone else’s form to get back into form. When everyone struggled in England, Suryakumar Yadav produced an incredible performance. Also played well in the West Indies. Suryakumar Yadav is already 30 years old. And not 21, 22 years old.
He doesn’t have much time left to play. Put Surya in to bat at number 3. Virat Kohli, who has a wealth of experience, can still play at number four. I think Suryakumar should bat third till the World Cup cricket. Let’s see what results we will get” – Gautam Gambhir clarified.
Suryakumar, who is third in the Twenty20 world rankings, is in good form. In the second match of the Asia Cup, Suryakumar remained unbeaten on 68 off 26 balls against Hong Kong. The player scored six sixes and fours each to raise the score for India. Kohli and Surya scored 78 runs in the last five overs alone. Suryakumar scored 26 runs including four sixes in the 20th over bowled by Haroon Arshad.
Virat Kohli, who scored 59 runs off 44 balls, also completed his half-century. After losing the toss and batting against Hong Kong, India scored 192 runs for the loss of two wickets. In reply, Hong Kong’s struggle ended at 152 for five. India won by 40 runs. With the second win, India also entered the Super Four of the Asia Cup.
