Prior to the first Test between Team India and Australia in Nagpur, Ramiz Raja made a clear recommendation.
Ramiz Raja, a former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), believes that Team India should use white-ball specialist Suryakumar Yadav in the four-match Test series against Australia, beginning with the first game on February 9 in Nagpur.
Ramiz suggested that Suryakumar’s fearless batting style will bring the x-factor, highlighting England’s aggressive style of cricket in the longest format, which has garnered them a lot of praise. The 32-year-old has yet to represent the team in a Test.
“Suryakumar Yadav will generate pace in the match, so India should play him. For the first two Tests, India has selected a few T20 specialists.
As a result of the increasing popularity of entertaining cricket in Test matches, this is a wise decision. Take a look at England’s performance against Pakistan.
In a single day, they scored 300-400. Therefore, Suryakumar will inject pace into the game, which India can utilize to increase pressure on Australia, as stated by Ramiz on his YouTube channel.
Suryakumar, who is the no man at the moment In limited-overs cricket, the No. 1 batter in the T20I rankings has been a revelation for the Indian cricket team.
He has been included in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test squad, the closest he has come to the red-ball game, despite the fact that numerous experts have predicted that he will play all formats in the future.
Since Rishabh Pant was hurt in the accident and couldn’t play in the Test series, Suryakumar might have to play the aggressor if he gets the chance.
Sharma did not reveal the starting lineup, but it is likely that India will use three spinners, including Ravichandran Ashwin and the returning Ravindra Jadeja.
