Suryakumar’s ability to play unorthodox shots and his calculated approach is simply outstanding. Be it a deadly pitcher or a devious spinner, Suryakumar, the world’s #1 T20I pitcher has all the weapons in his arsenal to get the pitcher into the heart of the city. city.

Prithvi Shaw is back after a long absence….
Prithvi performed very well. When he debuted, he scored a hundred. It’s not easy to score or start your career, especially in Tests, with century. I really like the way he hits the ball. I’m sure he’ll do well because he’s given the chance again.

Following his incredible performances in T20Is and ODIs, Suryakumar Yadav was selected to the Test vs Australia team. Do you think that’s the right call?
Surya is an excellent player. When given the opportunity in the T20s, he performed. When given the opportunity to participate in ODI, he also performed. I’m sure he will do well in the Tests. Just like Virat and Rohit, Surya is a tri-format player. He will go a long way. He had the right opportunities and most importantly he delivered.
Whether you play ODI or T20Is, every cricketer wants to play the Test format. It has its own charm. Test cricket is every cricket player’s dream. And Surya followed that dream and it came true for him. There are many players who go on and perform in limited cricket but they can never perform in the Tests. Surya has had his chance and he will do well. Ishan also had a chance with Surya. I hope these two boys will seize this great opportunity and perform well.

Do you think KL Rahul is in a bind?
KL Rahul is very talented and we’ve seen how he makes his opponents clear. There are some pictures of him playing and those pictures are amazing. KL Rahul lacks consistency. He is inconsistent. If he works with his consistency, he will become one of the best tennis players in the world. He has some shots and the time he has is unbelievable. He needs to be consistent to play for a long time.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not part of the T20I vs New Zealand series. Do you think it’s time for India to look beyond Rohit and Virat in T20Is?
They (Rohit and Virat) are experienced players and have played a lot of T20I cricket for the Indian team. We saw many decisive kills from both Virat and Rohit. But we need to give opportunities to young players and new players now.

You take on the speed gun Umran Malik…
He (Umran) is a great pitcher. You don’t get these types of fast pitchers easily. He is young and still has a lot to learn. The pace is good but he creates a lot of space for the players. If you make room for a pitcher, you’ll miss out on a lot of runs. Whenever he bowls with wickets and bowls with the correct line and length, he gets the wickets. If you look at his stats, he gave away 40 runs and 50 runs in his spell. So he has to work on it. If he starts to control the flow, such as 20 runs in 4 laps or 30 runs in 4 laps, he will automatically get more hits. He is young and I am sure he will be given a long rope.
