IND vs SL / Why Suryakumar did not get a place in the ODI team, the chief selector told the whole story

IND vs SL: The Indian cricket team is now ready for its next mission. Team India has left today for the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka. Many young and new players have been given a chance for the series. The special thing is that Suryakumar Yadav has been made the captain for the series. However, the interesting thing is that Surya is the captain of the T20 team, but he has not even got a place in the ODI team. Before going to Sri Lanka, Team India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar spoke to the media and has done the work of removing the veil from this whole matter.

Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and Head Coach spoke to the media

Before leaving for the Sri Lanka tour, a press conference of Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and new head coach Gautam Gambhir was held in Mumbai. When asked about Surya Kumar Yadav in this, Ajit Agarkar clearly told that Surya Kumar Yadav was not discussed much in ODIs. He said that Shreyas Iyer is making a comeback in the ODI team, while KL Rahul is also an important member of the ODI team, so Suryakumar Yadav was not getting a place, that is why there was no need to discuss his name. Not only this, Rishabh Pant is also going to return to the ODI team after a long gap. That is, even if Suryakumar Yadav was included in the team, he might not have got a chance to play in the playing eleven. This is the reason why Surya is the captain of the T20 team, but he has not been able to make a place in the ODI team.

Suryakumar Yadav will be tested as a captain

The way Suryakumar Yadav has batted in T20 in the last few years, his place is confirmed there. He has also been the number one batsman in the ICC rankings for a long time, although now he has moved away from there. Where he can claim again. But if we talk about ODIs, Suryakumar Yadav has been given many opportunities there, but he has not been successful in making his place confirmed. There have been questions on this from time to time that if Surya has mastery in T20, then why is he being forced to play in ODIs. Now Ajit Agarkar has kept him only in the T20 team, he will return to India after the T20 International series is over. But Suryakumar Yadav will definitely be tested as a captain to see how he manages to perform. Therefore, he will definitely be watched.
