Dinesh Karthik on Monday backed Suryakumar Yadav, who was dismissed for a golden duck in consecutive ODIs towards Australia. Karthik stated Suryakumar Yadav is a “non-negotiable” in ODIs, and the right-handed batsman ought to bat beneath 50 overs.
“Suryakumar in ODIs is a non-negotiable,” Karthik stated on Cricbuzz.
However, in his final 9 innings, the Mumbai batsman has managed solely 110 runs, a sample that will pressure the selectors to look past him within the World Cup yr.
He stated, ‘He would have gotten out on these two balls in T20 as nicely. It is just not that he’s getting out due to ODI. This is top of the range bowling, no matter the format. He has performed two ODIs now and earlier than that he had not performed constantly. Shreyas Iyer was the popular No.4 and was proper too and Surya was the back-up possibility,” stated Karthik.
“Where we must be with Suriya is to remind ourselves of his genius. I’d like to see if they’ll slot in a distinct location from the Sun to get the very best out of it.
“I believe, Hardik enjoys batting on the high, so is there a chance of sending him at No.4 and Surya at No.6. That’s as a result of whenever you give him 15-18 overs, the way in which he is ready to flip the sport is nice.
“And no matter whether or not there are 5 or 4 fielders contained in the circle, he can hit boundaries at will and mock the captain. When you give Surya fewer overs, 14-18 overs, he’s at his venomous finest.
