Cricket | Tuesday | 13th October, 2020

Former India opener Aakash Chopra trusts Mumbai Indians batsman Suryakumar Yadav will be an aspect of the Indian cricket crew before the finish of 2020.

Suryakumar has been in fine form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 thus far, having scored 233 runs in 7 matches at an average of 38.83 and a strike rate of 155.33.

"I feel Suryakumar Yadav was the game-changer in the match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. The manner in which he is batting, whether you see his shots over the covers or his flicks or his cut shots," Chopra said in a video uploaded on his official YouTube channel.

"The icing on the cake with a cherry on top was the flick he played of Rabada’s bowling for a six. My jaw dropped after watching that six. I said that this player should play for India.

"I am saying that before the end of 2020, he will be a part of the Indian team and I feel he will also play matches for the Indian team. This is a voice that is coming from my heart for this player and hopefully, that happens."

The capacity of the Mumbai batsman has never been in question yet he has taken his consistency up a few scores during the previous two IPL seasons.

His skill of scoring rapidly in the center request was apparent indeed against DC as he invalidated Rohit Sharma's initial excusal by assembling a quickfire 46-run remain with Quinton de Kock.

When Yadav was excused, MI required just 33 runs in 30 balls. They didn't make the run-pursue simple on themselves by losing three fast wickets after that however the Mumbai chap had done what's necessary to everything except ensure the success that would take the side to the head of the table.
