In the race for the No. 4 spot, Suryakumar Yadav is definitely ahead of other contenders: Aakash Chopra
Former Indian Test opener Aakash Chopra opined that Surykumar Yadav grabbed the opportunity that came his way in international cricket extremely well. He also feels Yadav is now the front runner for a spot in the Indian middle-order during the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
While talking on his YouTube channel, he said:
“Suryakumar Yadav was absolutely sensational. Of course, he played only four of the six matches before being placed in isolation. I am glad he has not tested positive because he has to go to England. Everything about Yadav was brilliant. He batted with great confidence and dominated the bowling. In the race for the No. 4 spot, in which Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey are also contenders, Yadav is definitely ahead."
"Even if he has decent IPL in the second half of this year’s edition, he should be in the T20 World Cup squad. The Team India squad for the tournament will be a big one owing to COVID-19, so Yadav should anyways feature in it. But I feel he should even be in Team India’s playing XI in the World Cup matches. The kind of form he is in, he has been a huge positive for India,” said Chopra.
