Suryakumar Yadav has reported at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
While Suryakumar has been a cornerstone of India’s T20I batting line-up over the past three and a half years, he has yet to secure a regular spot in the Test squad.
In an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol, Dav Whatmore, a man with rich coaching experience, expressed that the all-rounder could still become the skipper in the long future.
Having played 71 T20Is, Yadav has amassed 2,432 runs at an average of 42.67. His 5 Player of the Series awards highlight his consistency and crucial contributions to the Indian cricket team.
Suryakumar, who pipped T20 WC vice-captain Hardik Pandya for India captaincy, said the all-rounder’s role will remain the same.
