Suryakumar Yadav In Or Out? Dinesh Karthik Announces His India XI For 1st ODI vs West Indies | Cricket News

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has picked his India XI for the upcoming three-match ODI sequence vs West Indies, beginning with the primary sport in Barbadon on Thursday. As far because the workforce mixture is anxious, Karthik picked two frontline pacers and two specialist spinners, with 5 high quality batting choices. With India set to host the ODI World Cup later this 12 months, Karthik feels that the three-match sequence would be the most vital leg of the continued West Indies tour.

Karthik feels Suryakumar Yadav must be a part of the Indian workforce for the World Cup.

“For me, the biggest person who can take home a lot in terms of confidence and in terms of giving confidence to the selectors as well, and as someone who is a world-class player but strangely hasn’t put a mark in ODI cricket, is Suryakumar Yadav. He has had quite a lean run, in the last series against Australia, he got three ducks, and post that, we also saw what he can do in the IPL. He is somebody who can take the game away in a whiff of a breath. That is how special he is. He is, in my mind, one of the best T20 players, and I have no doubt that he should be part of the World Cup squad,” Karthik stated on Cricbuzz.

The wicketkeeper-batter additionally steered that Yuzvendra Chahal must make a mark within the ODI sequence, particularly with Kuldeep Yadav barely forward of him within the pecking order.

“He (Chahal) has been very sporadic with the amount of games he has played. He has hardly played many games. I think, if I am right, he has only played around five since the last one year. That is not too much to take home about. But he is fighting with Kuldeep now, who has probably just gone ahead of him. But there is always a battle between both the spinners,” he added.

Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (vc), Ishan Kishan (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik
