Ishan Kishan is already in the team and has already scored two fifty-plus scores against South Africa at home, thus R Sridhar, a former member of India’s coaching staff, was among the many who were baffled by the selection.
Everyone was taken aback when Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma opened the batting for India against West Indies in the first T20I.
When India asked Surya to bat with KL Rahul injured, it raised controversy. This was India’s second unexpected triumph after being forced to open a few times in England by Rishabh Pant. The India wicketkeeper-batsman opened the first two T20Is in Birmingham and Nottingham, but the tactic failed as he only scored 26 and one.
Suryakumar scored 24 in the first game and 11 in the second, but just when it appeared like the experiment was failing, the batter turned the tide of the match in the third T20I by producing a stunning half-century. After Suryakumar scored 76 off 44 balls, which included eight boundaries and four sixes, India eventually reached their target of 165.
There is probably information that the fans are not aware of, R Sridhar remarked, adding that he was astonished by the decision.
Suryakumar’s choice to go out to bat alongside Rohit surprised me a little. I immediately went to see if Rishabh Pant was taking part in the match. He also was. It is obvious that something is taking place there that we are not aware of. Unbeknownst to us, something is going on in the Indian bathroom.
As they are known to back their players and give them opportunities to show their skills and resolve, I can’t see this management changing the batting order so easy in any other case. So when Suryakumar walked in, I was fairly shocked,” R Sridhar stated on Cricket.com.
India is now ahead 2-1 in the five-match T20 series. On Saturday, a T20 match will be played in Florida.
