Earlier, during the recently-concluded IPL 2020, Suryakumar had played an unbeaten knock of 79 runs against Kohli-led RCB to lead MI to a clinical win in a nervy run-chase. During the game, Kohli tried to rattle the right-hander by trying to sledge him but Suryakumar maintained his composure and helped his team go over the line.
Despite his heroics in the recent IPL season, Surya Kumar Yadav was left out of India’s squad for the upcoming series against Australia. Team India are slated to play three ODI, as many T20Is, followed by four Tests.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli will miss the last three Tests as he’s been granted paternity leave by the BCCI. He and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting the birth of their first child.
