Ashish Nehra on Suryakumar Yadav | Ashish Nehra praises Suryakumar Yadav and compare with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma ‘These batsmen are no less than Virat and Rohit’, why Nehra said this about the new star of Team India

Many Indian cricketers are showing their stamina on the Sri Lanka tour. The Indian team has won the three-match ODI series 2-1 and now the T20 series is going on. The player who impressed the most on this tour is Suryakumar Yadav. Suryakumar, who went to play ODI for the first time, has created a sensation by winning the ‘Man of the Series’ title. The new star of Team India expressed his strong intentions by scoring a half-century in the first match of the T20 series. Suryakumar has won the hearts of former India fast bowler Ashish Nehra with his performance. He praised Suryakumar and said that he is no less than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

‘Suriyakumar not only started in the big innings…’

Ashish Nehra told Cricbuzz about the positive aspects for India on the Sri Lanka tour that there are a lot of positive aspects but the biggest positive thing for me is Suryakumar Yadav. Not only does he have the ability to convert starts into big innings, but when you talk about the X-factor, skill, there is no doubt that Suryakumar has it in the middle order. He said that we have seen Suryakumar playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL at Open, No. 3 and 4. Here he played in the ODI series slightly lower order (at number five). However, if you look at his fours, singles, he has shown tremendous confidence, which is fantastic.

‘Whenever Suryakumar was given a chance, he…’

Nehra further said that Suryakumar is in India’s T20 and ODI. Even if Shreyas Iyer was in the team, he (Suriyakumar) should get a chance. For India in T20s, it’s not like you have 4-5 good batsmen. The former bowler said that players like Suryakumar, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya are no less. Whenever Suryakumar has been given a chance, he has always adapted himself to the situation. He may not be used to batting at that position but still he has proved himself. It is worth noting that Suryakumar started his international career this year.
