New Delhi: Suryakumar Yadav opened the innings for India on the West Indies tour in July. It was probably an experiment and that experiment showed the effect, as he scored 135 runs in 4 matches with a high score of 76 runs. Overall, he impressed everyone as an opening batsman. In such a situation, the question was arising that he should be made to open in place of KL Rahul, but Surya has clearly told which position he likes to bat on.
Against England, right-handed batsman Suryakumar Yadav also scored a century while playing at number four, but now it remains to be seen whether the team management keeps him in that important position or he will be demoted further. Even former Australia captain Ricky Ponting feels that he should bat at number four. At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav has said about this whole matter, 'I like to bat at every position: 1, 3, 4, 5. I think No. 4 is a better position for me. The position in which I go to bat allows me to control the game. When I bat between 7 and 15 overs, I enjoy it the most. I try to stay positive at that stage.'
He further said 'I have seen a lot of matches where teams have great powerplay and a strong ending, but I think the most important time in a T20 match is from the 8th over to the 14th over. You need to press the pedal hard at that stage. I try not to play too risky shots. He always likes to play shots in the V (cover drive and point).
