Suryakumar Yadav
During the second T20I between India and West Indies on Monday, August 1, India batter Suryakumar Yadav could be seen wearing the jersey of pacer Arshdeep Singh. The reason behind this might be the delay in the arrival of the luggage of the Indian team.
Because of the delay, the start of the match was postponed by three hours. So instead of the match at 8PM, it was announced that the match will start at 10 PM but eventually, it started at 11 PM.
First, Suryakumar Yadav’s role as an opener in the second T20I raised fans’ questions, his wearing the jersey No. 2 of Arshdeep was their another question. This became a huge talking point on social media.
Because of logistical error, one or two other players were also wearing Arshdeep’s jersey in the match. Also, in the ODI series earlier, all-rounder Deepak Hooda was seen wearing the jersey of Prasidh Krishna.

“Don’t spoil the cricketer. He will lose his confidence”- Srikkanth furious with Rohit’s decision
India is experimenting with their players to finalise their 15-member squad for the ICC T20 World Cup later this year. India skipper Rohit Sharma and the management team are using the West Indies series to do these experiments. But when they decided to play Suryakumar Yadav as an opener, many cricket experts weren’t happy with the decision and among them was former India captain and ex-chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
“Suryakumar Yadav is a brilliant player at No.4. He should be batting at No.4 in the T20 World Cup. So why do you want to make him open. If you want someone to open, drop Shreyas Iyer and pick Ishan Kishan instead. What I am trying to say is simple…don’t spoil the cricketer like Suryakumar Yadav. Please don’t do that. I will tell you what will, after a couple of failures he will lose his confidence. Cricket is a confidence game,” he said.
“Whatever it was, I completely failed to understand it. You ought to have used Rishabh Pant today if you were planning to use him as the opener for a couple of games. Give him five chances at least. In addition, Rohit Sharma, the captain, and Rahul Dravid, the coach, support the players for at least 5–6 games,” he had said on Fan Code.
