Port of Spain: Former Indian player and selector Saba Karim has criticized middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav for his lack of color in the first two matches of the ODI series against West Indies. Suryakumar’s scores were 9 and 12 in the first two matches against West Indies.
Suryakumar came to the crease as the fourth man when India was facing a batting collapse. But Suryakumar could not shine in both the matches. Suryakumar, who shone with a scintillating century in the final match of the T20 series against England, disappointed against the West Indies and put pressure on the middle order.
Saba Karim said that despite getting opportunities in ODIs, Suryakumar has yet to capitalize on them. A consistent performance is expected from Suryakumar. After his century in the T20 against England, Suryakumar faded when he entered the ODIs. He is unable to convert good starts into big scores. This will not happen in international cricket.

Suryakumar is a versatile player. That’s why you should be able to shine in the opportunities you get – Saba Karim told India News. Saba Karim also stated that Ishan Kishan, the wicket-keeper batsman, has not been able to take advantage of the opportunities he got in international cricket like Suryakumar.
But Karim praised Dinesh Karthik’s return to the Indian team. Dinesh Karthik needs no motivation to perform well and come back. Karthik is his inspiration. Karthik is an experienced player. But despite getting so many opportunities, Ishan Kishan has not been able to win the game for India like Axar Patel or Deepak Hoodada, Karim said.
