Surya Kumar Yadav (Photo Source: Twitter) The Indian team has now reached the West Indies to play the Super 8 round matches of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Team India, which played all the group matches in America, could not perform very well in batting, the biggest reason for this was that the pitch was not at all conducive for batting. Now the statement of Suryakumar Yadav, the world’s number 1 player in the T20 rankings, is going viral at this time. Surya said that to score runs on such pitches, you have to change your batting according to the conditions. The Super 8 matches of the Indian team will be held in Barbados, Antigua and St. Lucia respectively, where the pitches may be a little easier to score runs. India’s first Super 8 match will be against Afghanistan on June 22. Then the next match will be played against Bangladesh and then Australia. Suryakumar Yadav’s big statement on batting before the Super 8 match Suryakumar Yadav has been the world’s number one batsman in T20 for the last two years. But his bat remained silent in the first two matches of the T20 World Cup. Suryakumar returned unbeaten by scoring 59 runs in the match against America and led India to victory. When India’s score was 2 wickets for 10 runs, Surya played a restrained innings by controlling his big shots. As a result, Suryakumar scored an unbeaten half-century against America on the difficult pitch of New York. After three wickets fell early, Suryakumar Yadav played a restrained innings and played an important role in the team’s victory by scoring an unbeaten 50 runs in 49 balls. In his comments after the team’s practice session in Barbados ahead of the Super 8 match against Afghanistan, Suryakumar Yadav said that “If you are number one for the last one-two years, you have to face different situations. You have to know how to play, in that you have to play according to the needs of the team. This makes you a better batsman and that’s what I try to do. When there is no pace on the pitch and when the opponent knows your style of play, it is not easy for you to score runs. At that time, one has to bat very intelligently to play a big innings.”

Rashid Latif told The Indian Express about Azam Khan, ‘He is under a lot of pressure right now. Azam is being criticized a lot for his body. Azam Khan is a very good batsman in T20 cricket. The wicketkeeper batsman can prove to be very lethal against spinners and he has also batted very well against fast bowlers. I feel very bad for this boy, he is just 25 years old and he should not be trolled like this.’ Mohammad Rizwan should keep wicket instead of Azam Khan: Rashid Latif Rashid Latif further said, ‘Mohammad Rizwan is the best wicketkeeper of Pakistan and he has been a warrior for the team. Wicketkeepers take the game forward from behind the stumps. It is not just about DRS but also about other important things of the game. Rizwan is fielding in the deep which is wrong. Babar Azam’s captaincy has been very wrong in this matter. They need Rizwan and if he is not Pakistan’s wicketkeeper, then the team may face a lot of problems in this World Cup.
