Suryakumar Yadav will get a chance soon: Sanjay Manjrekar

Manjrekar also said that the uncapped batsman Suryakumar Yadav He will get his chance in the Indian team soon. The Mumbai Indians top-order batsman did well in the tournament, but failed to make it to any team for the tour of Australia. According to the former Indian opener, Suryakumar has good days and is confident that the player will be called as a replacement for any injured player on the tour of Australia.

“When a team is announced for a big tour, like the one in Australia where the Indian team will be around for three-four months, we think it is the team that will be playing. However, as we are talking, slowly and gradually we will get to see that by the end of the tour, all the players in India will have played in Australia. ”

“I have no doubt that Rohit Sharma will play when he is fit. Suryakumar Yadav will also get a chance somewhere on the tour as it often happens that some injuries happen and is called replacement. I think four-five players who have not been selected for the tour due to fitness or some other issues will play in the upcoming tour.
