"Biggest fraud in ODI cricket "- Fans fume as Suryakumar Yadav throws away yet another start in 3rd ODI vs West Indies

Suryakumar Yadav faced the wrath of fans after failing to utilize chance in the 3rd ODI between India and West Indies on Tuesday, August 1, in Trinidad. Batting at number 6, he scored 35 (30) before departing in the 46th over without converting his start.

He walked to the crease in the 39th over when India were 244/4, having just lost Shubman Gill (85). The platform was well set for Surya to play his natural aggressive game as was the need of the hour with India aiming for a big finish in the final ten overs.

The flamboyant batter got off to a start and looked in decent touch, smashing two sixes and as many four en route to 35. However, Suryakumar left the job midway after failing to clear the fielder at backward point while trying to hit over him.

Fans were frustrated and disappointed to see Suryakumar Yadav waste yet another opportunity in ODI cricket. He has been backed consistently by the Indian team management this year but is yet to repay the faith with a big knock. They trolled him for the same and pointed out his dismal record in ODI cricket.

Here are some of the Twitter reactions on the issue:

Suryakumar Yadav has an average of 24 after 26 ODI innings, if he still is preferred over Sanju Samson who has 56 Avg after 12 innings,then we deserve to lose another World Cup.

Any strike rate advocates mind giving their comments on this innings by Indias self proclaimed next big thing in cricket #SuryakumarYadav ? Playing at 116 SR against a team which couldn’t even qualify for #ODIWorldCup2023 with one main bowler injured is acceptable, however when… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… pic.twitter.com/oUC3fpGp0F

So atleast by now the team management should've got answers from these experiments

Backup opener and backup WK is ready- Ishan kishan
Backup middle order bat/WK is ready- Sanju Samson

And It's temporary goodbye to suryakumar yadav in ODIs. Enough chances given

Biggest fraud in ODI cricket 👌....

Playing all three Formats is not everyone's Cup of tea and Suryakumar Yadav is the best example of it. pic.twitter.com/2I5tslSRIz

Even after such performances it seems like Suryakumar Yadav will be preferred ahead of Sanju Samson. Thanks to Rohit and Team management

@mufaddal_vohra Now he Should not be allowed to move around the odi squad.

@mufaddal_vohra he played his last ODI inning of his career

@mufaddal_vohra My man should spend rest of his carrier focusing on T20's ....

Or else , who knows ... He might loose his form in T20's ☠️

@mufaddal_vohra Itna chance mujhe mile to me ek half century mar du🙃

@mufaddal_vohra Got 4 full tosses and scored approx 20 runs on that. Other than that was struggling to even take a single every ball

Congratulations Suryakumar Yadav for having a career average boost of 0.53. This innings has surely ensured you get to start in the Asia Cup if Iyer isn't there👍

@CricCrazyJohns He's learning ODI cricket in World Cup year💀 pic.twitter.com/J4ep4JPnR0

@CricCrazyJohns sanju samson should Play ahead of duplicate 360 sky

@CricCrazyJohns Should be his last odi knock

"He would be the first one to admit that his ODI numbers haven't been up to the standards"- Rahul Dravid on Suryakumar Yadav

Team India head coach Rahul Dravid recently opened up about Suryakumar Yadav's struggles in the ODI format, stating that he is still learning the trades of 50-over cricket. In a video uploaded by BCCI, Dravid said:

"Surya is a really good player, there is no doubt about that. He has shown that. Especially in T20 cricket, in domestic cricket, in white-ball cricket. He has some very good performances. He would be the first one to admit that his ODI numbers haven't been up to the standards or the standards that he has set in T20."

"He's also probably learning ODIs. He has played a lot of competitive T20 cricket through the IPL before he made his debut for India. In One-dayers he hasn't played as much competitive cricket, because there is no IPL for one-dayers.
