Former player Wasim Jaffer believes the remaining two ODIs of the series against Australia could be the last for Suryakumar Yadav, as he has failed to score in this format of the game. The number one T20I batter in the world failed to trouble the scorers in the opening game.
SKY was given a chance because of an injury to Shreyas Iyer, who is out of the series.
“SKY will be dropped if he doesn’t score runs in the upcoming games. If he continues similarly, he cannot play in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Suryakumnar has two matches left,” he said on ESPNcricinfo.
India won the game by 5 wickets, with KL Rahul scoring a fifty. He was assisted well by the Man of the Match, Ravindra Jadeja. For Australia, Mitchell Starc had three wickets while defending 188. Jaffer feels Australia could have won the game had other bowlers supported Starc from the other end.
