To bat at No. 6 or No. 7 is Suryakumar Yadav? The World Cup’s Star Batter’s Batting Position, According to Gautam Gambhir

Former Indian hitter Gautam Gambhir thinks that Suryakumar Yadav should bat at no. 6 or no. 7 to provide depth in the batting order if the Indian team intends to use him in the starting XI.

In the first ODI match against Australia, Suryakumar scored a promising half-century, marking his first significant performance in the ODI format.

His unbroken 50 runs enabled India to win by five wickets and take a 1-0 series lead.

Gambhir offered his opinion, believing that Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya may be moved up the order to allow Suryakumar the opportunity to complete the innings with 15 to 20 overs remaining, a role he plays in T20 cricket.

The key issue would then be who will bat at No. 5, but if Suryakumar Yadav is in your first playing XI, I would prefer him to bat at 6-7. Then Jadeja may bat at No. 5, Hardik at No. 6, and Suryakumar can bat in the last 15-20 overs as the finisher, according to Gambhir of Star Sports.

But choosing whether you want Jadeja at No. 5 and Suryakumar, in the form that he is in ODI cricket, at No. 7 would be a tremendous bet. The top four would bear a great deal of responsibility as a result,” he said.

After a string of poor scores in the format, the star batter Suryakumar was thrilled to contribute effectively and aid in his team’s victory.

“I was unsure of what was going on. The ball is the same shade of hue. The groups are identical. They are the same bowlers. I believe I was a little hurried. With regard to the modifications he had to make in the Mohali innings, he remarked, “I thought, let’s take a little more time, relax myself, take it gently, and try to bat deep.

At the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Sunday, where India will play Australia in the second ODI, he will be looking to keep up his incredible form.
