Suryakumar Yadav in ODIs is a non-negotiable: Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik on Monday backed Suryakumar Yadav, who bought out on golden geese in back-to-back ODIs in opposition to Australia. Karthik mentioned Suryakumar Yadav within the ODIs is a “non-negotiable”, and the right-handed batsman should bat decrease within the 50 over.

“Suryakumar in ODIs is a non-negotiable,” Karthik mentioned on Cricbuzz.

However, in his final 9 innings, the Mumbai batsman has managed solely 110 runs, a sample that would power selectors to look past him within the World Cup 12 months.

“He would have gotten out on those two deliveries even in T20s. It is not that because it is ODIs, he is getting out. This is high-quality bowling, irrespective of the format. He played the two ODIs now and prior to that he didn’t play consistently. Shreyas Iyer was the preferred No.4 and rightfully so and Surya was the back-up option,” mentioned Karthik.

“Where we have to be with Surya is remind ourselves of the expertise he’s. What I prefer to see is can they slot in Surya at a unique place to get the very best out of him.

“I really feel, Hardik enjoys batting up prime so is there a risk of sending him at No.4 and Surya at six. It is so as a result of whenever you give him 15-18 overs, the best way he is ready to flip the sport on its head may be very excellent.

“And irrespective of whether there are 5 or 4 fielders inside the circle he is able to hit boundaries at will and make a mockery out of the captain. When you give Surya lesser overs, 14-18 overs, he is at his venomous best.”
