The 2024 T20 World Cup will include a lot of action from India’s Suryakumar Yadav. Perhaps the greatest T20 batter in India is Surya. The good news is that his appearance has improved since recovering from his accident. As the T20 World Cup came near, he returned to form with a brilliant century against SRH in the previous game.
West Indian legend Brian Lara wants Surya to bat for 10 to 15 overs; hence, he wants him to bat higher in the order than he usually does for India. Lara also recommends that India put him at number three, where Virat Kohli is now batting. In the T20 World Cup.
In a Star Sports-organized conversation with PTI, Lara stated, “My one piece of advice, which I’m not sure you’ll like, is that Sky needs to bat at three. He’s not an opener, so get him out there, and if he can bat for ten or fifteen overs, you know what’s going to happen.”
For India, Suryakumar commonly bats at number four and Kohli at number three. In order to make space for Surya at three, Kohli and Rohit could choose to start the innings together, leaving Yashasvi Jaiswal on the sidelines.
Brian Lara pointed out, “Just figure out a way to have Suryakumar bat at three.” “Whether you bat him first or second, he will either put you in an unbeatable position or win the game.”After that, everyone is free to situate themselves however they see fit, but an established framework is crucial,” he said.
Lara, who is doing commentary on the IPL, stated that if India performs well, it might possibly lead to a championship match against the West Indies. This would avenge the terrible 2007 ODI World Cup, in which India was eliminated in the first round. “The India vs. West Indies match will make up for a great deal of the injustices committed in the past. India lost the second round in 2007, which devastated us in the Caribbean. That is not what we want to continue. India and the West Indies will play in the final, and may the top team win,” Brian Lara added.
