Team India are currently busy playing the ongoing 20-20 World Cup in Australia. Out of four matches so far, they have managed to win three. So, with one more match to go in the group stage, the Men in Blue are quite favourite to get into the semifinals. Virat Kohli has been the man in form for India since the kick-off of this tournament.
Apart from him, Suryakumar Yadav has also come up with some crucial contributions in this tournament so far. On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir is currently busy doing broadcasting duties. Now, the former Indian cricketer came up with a huge claim regarding Suryakumar Yadav.
“He has that 180-strike rate which is much more valuable than that of the other Indian batters” - Gautam Gambhir
While speaking on Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir said: "Let's not give him names like 360, there's a lot of work to do. He's got loads of talent. Whether it is 360, 180 or 1 degree, it doesn't matter. He has the game. He knows what he's doing. When a traditional coach sees him he can say, 'he's got an open stance, he doesn't get behind the line' but he has been successful with what he has got. He has scored runs at first-class cricket and in every format. Hopefully he gets a chance in Test cricket and he'll do well,"
He added: He (Suryakumar) might not have the best cover drive like the others (Indian batters) but he has that 180-strike rate which is much more valuable than that of the other Indian batters," Gambhir added without taking Kohli's name but it was quite evident that he was talking about Kohli's cover drive as his comments came immediately after a segment was shown where most of the world's top cricketers picked the former India captain as best cover driver currently.”
After India’s clash with the Netherlands in the ongoing World Cup, Gautam Gambhir called Suryakumar Yadav’s innings the best-ever T20I innings played by an Indian. He also termed Surya as India’s real hero over Virat Kohli.
