Sunil Gavaskar, an Indian batting legend, believes that technical problems are impeding Suryakumar Yadav's progress in one-day internationals. According to Gavaskar, SKY's open attitude works well in T20Is but causes him problems in ODIs. Suryakumar scored his second golden duck in a row in the current one-day series against Australia.
Mitchell Starc trapped him lbw for the second game in a succession. His dismissal in the Visakhapatnam ODI on March 19 was nearly identical to the way in which he was dismissed by the astute Aussie left-armer in the first match in Mumbai. After Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to a recurring back injury, the 32-year-old was given an opportunity to bat in the middle order.
"He is facing technical difficulties," Gavaskar said of Suryakumar's ODI struggles, according to Star Sports. In addition, his position is open. It's useful in T20 cricket because he can flick any overpitched ball for a six. However, when the ball is put close to the foot with this stance, the bat will undoubtedly come across. It can't be square.
As a result, if the ball turns inside, he will have a tough time. "He needs to talk to the batting coach about how to get out of this." Suryakumar has now played 22 one-dayers, scoring 433 runs at an average of 25.47 and a strike rate of 102.36, with two half-centuries. His one-day success stands in stark contrast to his T20I statistics.
SKY has 1675 runs for India in 48 20-over encounters at an impressive average of 46.52 and an exceptional strike rate of 175.76, with three hundreds and 13 fifties. Suryakumar, who has two golden ducks, will be under pressure to keep his spot in the playing XI for the third ODI against Australia.
However, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja believes the struggling batter will be retained in the squad for the next game. "It would make sense if the player on the bench is forcing the doors open," he stated on Cricbuzz. Everyone is just sitting by the entrance. Suryakumar has pried open the entrance for himself. I doubt the Indian squad would consider it. (replacing Suryakumar).
I'll be surprised if they're even thinking that way." India lost by 10 wickets to Australia in the second ODI, their largest defeat by number of balls left. (234). The final will be contested on March 22 at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium.
