“There is no guarantee that Suryakumar will be able to play that format”
Suryakumar Yadav is currently India’s T20 specialist batsman. Though he was a latecomer to India’s maroon jersey, the star didn’t have long to wait to become a loyal member of India’s squad and fans in the T20.
While performing well in the white ball format, Suryakumar is now waiting for a call up for the red ball format.
Sky is a firm believer that he can wear the Test cap for the Indian team as he is a player with Test experience domestically.
Former India manager Ravi Shastri had also stated that he wanted to see Suryakumar play in the longer format.
Sky played 77 matches for Mumbai and scored 5300 runs at an average of 44. The player scored 14 centuries and 26 half-centuries.
But Vinayak Mane, who batted with Suryakumar in Mumbai, says Suryakumar Yadav won’t be able to shine as much in the Test format.
In an interview with PTI, Vinayak Mane shared his hopes for his old teammate.
“There is no way to predict how successful he will be in Test cricket or how strong the team will be. But he will bring out the best in the team if he gets the chance,” says Mane.
Suryakumar is currently touring New Zealand in India. Suryakumar’s spectacular performance was the only thing that helped India win the T20 series by defeating New Zealand.
At the same time, there is a possibility that the star will get a test cap soon. Suryakumar was included as a support star after Ravindra Jadeja who came on India’s tour of Bangladesh was ruled out due to injury.
