Rohit Sharma Weighs In On Suryakumar Yadav’s Future in ODIs

Mumbai: In a much-needed turnaround, Team India secured a convincing seven-wicket win against West Indies in the third T20I, narrowing the series gap to 2-1. Suryakumar Yadav, who had been facing a rough patch, emerged as the star with a blazing knock of 83 off 44 balls, leading India’s chase of 160 runs. This performance eased concerns about his form, particularly after a lacklustre ODI series.

His innings was the backbone of India’s chase of 160 runs, which they achieved with ease in 18.1 overs.

Yadav’s performance will be a huge relief to India captain Rohit Sharma, who had expressed faith in his abilities despite the recent struggles. Rohit had said that it was important to give Yadav more opportunities to regain his confidence, and the knock in the third T20I was a step in the right direction.

Rohit also acknowledged that patience would be key while Suryakumar adapts to the ODI format. India will aim to create a supportive environment for Suryakumar, allowing him a cushion of games to rediscover his groove.

Looking ahead, India will be hoping to level the series in the fourth T20I against West Indies at Lauderhill on Saturday. The visitors still lead the series 2-1, but India will be confident of their chances after the win in the third match.

The win in the third T20I was a much-needed one for India, who had been struggling in the batting department in recent matches. Suryakumar’s performance will be a big boost to the team, and they will be hoping that he can continue his good form in the upcoming matches.
