But the way he struck against Pakistan, perhaps India did not lose the quick counters in one of the games. That may be why he may have sent Kuldeep to beat. »»The former captain of India, 76, added: “He is a very unorthodox thinker. We saw in Sri Lanka that he himself had a booty and also gave Rinku Singh the ball. He turned the game, who seemed to have slipped, on his head and conquered India the match. He is an innovative thinker.” Maybe that’s why he did not beat and sent to Kuldeep and Arsheep Singh. “”

While Sunil Gavaskar praised Surya’s tactical approach, his son and former cricket player from India Rohan Gavaskar questioned logic. He estimated that India had missed an opportunity to rest Suryakumar while giving Rinku Singh a chance.“What does not register with me is that if Suryakumar Yadav does not be clear because he sent Arshdeep, Harshit and Kuldeep everything in front of him, then he could as well rest. Try Rinku. You are not going to beat;The debate around Suryodox’s unorthodox decision continues, but cricket experts like Sunil Gavaskar believe that he reflects his innovative thought and his long -term strategy, reporting a captain ready to take daring risks for the situation as a whole.
