The 31-year-old is batting at the top of the order in the ongoing T20I series against the West Indies and scored a match-winning fifty in the third T20I at St.Kitts yesterday (August 2). Several have been skeptical of the recent move by Team India, who believe that the management is going overboard with their experimentation. Suryakumar Yadav is among a select few to have cemented a place in the 2022 T20 World Cup squad on the back of consistent performances over the last few months.

Scorecard bit.ly/WIvIND-3RDT20I https://t.co/gIM7E2VbKU Noting that No.4 is a crucial batting position, especially in ICC events, Saba Karim said on India News Sports: "I still think that he is best suited at No.4, especially against a top-quality bowling attack. No.4 is a very important batting position in ICC events, you need a player like Suryakumar there. He is equally proficient against pacers and spinners and scores at a healthy strike rate." The Mumbai-born player, who has opened in T20 cricket in the Indian Premier league (IPL), was adjudged player of the match for his 44-ball 76 run knock in the third T20I. The right-handed batter made amends for his failures in the first two matches by plotting the chase to perfection and giving India a 2-1 lead in the series. He will keep the scoreboard ticking - Reetinder Singh Sodhi on Suryakumar Yadav Leading into the World Cup, the Mumbai Indians (MI) batter notched his maiden T20I hundred and scored at an exceptional strike rate with his wide array of strokes. He has mastered the art of batting in the shortest format after boasting a strike rate of 175.61 and a healthy average of 38.12 in his short career so far.

He is brilliant in the middle-order, he knows how to run the game, he knows how to rotate strike as well as score boundaries at regular intervals. He will keep the scoreboard ticking." The Men in Blue, who now have a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, will face the West Indies in the fourth T20I on Saturday (August 6). Should India persist with Suryakumar Yadav at the top of the order or revert him back to his original position? Let us know what you think.
