New Delhi. Suryakumar Yadav has got off to a great start in the ODI series against Australia. Surya scored 50 runs in 49 balls in the first match. He hit 6 fours and 1 six during the innings. The Indian team has also won this match by 5 wickets and has taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series. The second match of the series will be played in Indore on Sunday, September 24. Although Surya scored his maiden half-century in the 2023 ODIs, former India legend Sanjay Manjrekar believes that even after this performance, Suryakumar Yadav will not get a place in the World Cup 2023 playing XI. This is Suryakumar’s third overall half-century in ODIs.
Commenting during the match on Jio Cinemas, Sanjay Manjrekar said that there was a change in Suryakumar Yadav’s game. He did not play a single sweep shot. Often they play such shots to score quick runs. He said who will replace Suryakumar Yadav in the World Cup playing XI, from KL Rahul to Ishan Kishan are in good form. In such a situation, you cannot exclude both. For this reason Surya will have to wait for his turn. It is known that KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 58 off 63 balls in his first ODI as captain.
You may get a chance in the middle of the tournament
Talking about the World Cup 2023, each team has to play 9 matches in the group round. After this, the top 4 teams will go to the semi-finals. Sanjay Manjrekar said that the World Cup is a long tournament. Suryakumar Yadav might get a chance if a player gets injured or someone is rested. In such a situation it will depend on the team management. Looking at 33-year-old Suryakumar Yadav’s ODI performance, he has scored 587 runs at an average of 26 in 26 innings from 28 matches. Has scored 3 half centuries. 64 runs is his best performance.
