‘I think Suryakumar Yadav is going to be focusing on getting runs because he really needs some runs under his belt’: Varun Aaron
Aaron also observed that Surya did manage to put on a decent show in the Syed Mustaq Ali trophy. He scored 165 runs at an average of 41.25 and a strike rate of 139.83.
The form of Suryakumar Yadav has been a massive concern for the Indian T20I side. In the ongoing series against South Africa, Surya scored 29 runs from three games at an average of 9.67 runs. Going into the final T20I, former Indian cricketer Varun Aaron reckoned that Surya needs to get runs under his belt, which will give him massive confidence.
“I think Suryakumar Yadav is going to be focusing on getting runs because he really needs some runs under his belt. If Suryakumar Yadav scores runs, there will be a huge change in confidence because runs haven’t come from his bat for a long time, and even from
“These two are key batters in our setup when we talk about the T20 World Cup, and if they score runs, the Indian team will remain absolutely bullet-proof,” Aaron observed.
Aaron also observed that Surya did manage to put on a decent show in the Syed Mustaq Ali trophy. He scored 165 runs at an average of 41.25 and a strike rate of 139.83. “It’s not like Suryakumar Yadav is totally out of form. If you see his Mushtaq Ali numbers, he had an average of 41 and a healthy strike rate there. I feel he is just one inning away from finding his form,” he stated.
“If you have an 83 per cent win record as a captain, you know that you are doing a lot of things right, especially after two of your main players retire. The stalwarts of Indian cricket were not in your T20 squad anymore, and you managed these kinds of results,” he replied.
“It just shows that you have great cricket acumen, and you also have the confidence of the boys. Yes, Suryakumar Yadav is not scoring the runs we would love him to score, but I think he will come good at the right time,” Aaron observed.
