Suryakumar Yadav is currently the world’s number one batsman in T20 cricket. But when it comes to ODIs, the star is unable to continue this performance. Why is that? Now former Indian player Wasim Jaffer has made his assessment in this regard. Jaffer’s observation is that Suriya is still playing with T20 in mind.
This is very surprising. I can understand why this happens. Suryakumar Yadav is still playing with T20 in mind. As the length of the game gets shorter, you have to take more risks in batting.
Surya is used to it. He is batting in such a way. But the ODI format is not like this. There is no need to take such risks in ODIs.
I think Surya will come back following realizing where he is wrong and correcting it. I am sure he has the potential to shine in this format as well. Taking some time away from ODIs will help Surya to improve in this format – Jaffer said.
