R Ashwin on Suryakumar Yadav Batting: Although the Indian cricket team achieved a resounding 4-1 victory against England in the T20 International series, captain Suryakumar Yadav’s poor form has raised concerns. The Indian captain managed only 28 runs in 5 matches, twice being dismissed for a duck. His highest score in the series was a mere 14 runs. Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has asserted that Suryakumar Yadav needs to adapt his batting style to perform better in this shortest format of the game.
As a former world number-1 in T20s, Surya has high expectations from fans. While his captaincy in the domestic T20 series against England was excellent, his batting was far from his usual standard. The same problem exists with opening batsman Sanju Samson. R Ashwin was surprised to see both these veteran batsmen dismissed in similar circumstances against English fast bowlers. He claimed that both were dismissed similarly, making the same mistake – a serious concern for the team.

‘Now it’s not unusual’ – Ashwin

R Ashwin stated on his YouTube channel that the problem lies with Suryakumar’s batting. Undoubtedly, his captaincy in this series was truly good. However, he could take a break from batting for a while. Sanju Samson and SKY are getting out on the same ball, same field placement, same shot, same mistake, and in the same manner. I can understand this happening in 1-2 matches, but now it’s not unusual. Players should play freely, but our batsmen need to find a better answer to this question.

‘Surya should change his approach to batting’

The former spinner praised Sky’s excellent captaincy, while also revealing that the batsman needs to change his batting style. Ashwin further added that Sky needs to make significant changes and he believes he will. Ashwin said that Suryakumar Yadav is a very experienced player. One might say he was at the forefront of change, but the time has come for him to change his approach to batting.
