Before India's World Cup opener against Australia, former cricketer Suresh Raina made a significant remark about the Indian star
Former cricketer of team India Suresh Raina, during a chat before India's World Cup opener against Australia, name-dropped MS Dhoni in conveying that Suryakumar has the potential to make a substantial impact in the death overs.Raina said, "If anyone can make a huge impact in the death overs apart from MS Dhoni, then it's Suryakumar Yadav.”Suryakumar has had a rough year in ODIs but returned to run-scoring in style right before the World Cup, smashing two half-centuries during the ODI series against the Aussies.There are concerns over Shubman Gill's availability for the Australia clash due to illness, but if he recovers in time, Raina believes the young opener would be India's “strongest card.”Raina said, “Shubman Gill will be India's strongest card. He has been in stunning form and has figured out how he needs to play in ODIs. He has spent some time with Virat and is batting with Rohit Sharma, who has hit double centuries. Gill has also hit a double century.”
