The wait has finally come to an end for batsman Suryakumar Yadav
Sky has been knocking at the door of selectors for the last few years for Mumbai Indians and India A, a 5-time title champion in the Indian Premier League. The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced the 5-match T20 series against England on Saturday and named Suryakumar Yadav, who has been waiting for his selection for almost a year and a half, in the squad.
Many of the 19 players who were given a place in the T20 series against England on Saturday by BCCI can be seen playing for the first time.
Notably, Suryakumar Yadav scored 480 runs in 16 matches at an average of 40 during the IPL 2020. During this time, his strike rate was also 145. Looking at Suryakumar Yadav's great performance, everyone felt that this player is certain to get a place in the series against Australia. However, when the Indian team was announced during the last phase of IPL, this player did not get a place in any team.
The Indian selectors were criticized not only by national players but also by many veteran players at the international level for not giving Suryakumar Yadav a place in the team. After the team selection, Suryakumar also said that his father would find his son's name in the newspaper the next day when the team was announced and when not, he would call and tell them about it, which is very sad.
There was speculation that he would be selected on the tour of New Zealand before the Australia tour but was also ignored by the selectors there.
At the same time, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who lost his place in limited overs in this T20 series against England, is also returning. Rishabh Pant played his last limited-overs match as an ODI against Australia in January last year, after which he did not get a place in the playing 11 on the New Zealand tour, then did not join any other team except Test on Australia tour.
The result of the way Rishabh Pant batted in the recent Test series against Australia and England has given him a place in the team in T20. Let us tell you that apart from Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Mystery Spinner Varun Chakraborty and wicketkeeper-batsman Ishaan Kishan have also been included during this series. At the same time, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has been suffering from the injury for a long time, will also be seen returning to international cricket through this series.
