Suryakumar Yadav Failure / T20 star fails in ODI – Suryakumar Yadav's failure continues from 16 innings

Suryakumar Yadav Failure: The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and West Indies has been done, which Team India won without any special problem. In this match, Team India did some such experiments regarding the batting order, which was not expected. Despite this, the answer to such a question could not be found, which is now becoming an inexplicable puzzle. This is an unsolvable puzzle - Suryakumar Yadav and his strange relationship with ODI cricket, where even after doing everything things are not working.

In the last year and a half, Suryakumar Yadav has established his power in T20 cricket. Surya has achieved the status of the best batsman of the shortest format at present on the basis of his impeccable style of batting and his ability to penetrate the fielding with different shots. Despite this, his pulse has not melted in ODIs, a slightly bigger format than T20, and the struggle continues against the West Indies as well.

Surya missed a good chance

In the first match against West Indies in Barbados, Team India had to score only 115 runs. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not come for batting at their regular places. Rohit was forced to come at number seven, while Kohli did not need it at all. In such a situation, Suryakumar Yadav was given a chance at the third position of Kohli. It was expected that he would win the team by staying at the crease for a long time against a weak looking Windies team.

This innings was also important for Surya because before that his last 3 innings in ODIs were like a nightmare. In March, in all the three ODIs against Australia, he kept getting out without opening the account in each ball. He was successful in opening an account in Barbados. He also hit a six behind the wicket on his favorite hook shot. However, this did not last long and he was out LBW while trying to sweep the ball of left-arm spinner Gudkesh Moti.

Super flop from 16 innings

He could only score 19 runs in 25 balls. Another innings in ODIs ended in disappointment for the number one ranked T20 batsman. The sweep shot on which he collects a lot of boundaries from International T20 to IPL is proving like a disaster for him in ODI cricket. In the past also he has been getting out like this.

In his 48-match T20 career, Surya, who scored 1675 runs (3 centuries, 13 half-centuries) at an average of 46 and a strike rate of 175, could score only 452 runs in 22 ODI innings. In this, his average is 23 and there are only 2 half-centuries. In this too, 261 runs came only in the first 6 innings of his career and then his average was 65. In the next 16 innings, his average has remained only 12.73.

World Cup difficult, how long will you get a chance?

This raises the question that why Surya, who has become a star in a white ball format, is not able to succeed in its bigger form. The second and more important question is, for how long will Surya be given such opportunities? Is it time to try Sanju Samson at this number? Obviously, with such a form, it is difficult for him to be selected for the World Cup, let alone the Asia Cup. It is clear that Team India is in great need of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul.
