Suryakumar Yadav: Weakness came to the fore… those three reasons due to which Suryakumar Yadav is flopping in ODIs – three reasons why suryakumar yadav fails to perform in odi format

New Delhi: At present, Suryakumar Yadav is the number-1 T20 batsman in the world, but he is proving to be a flop in the ODI format. The right-handed batsman has so far scored 433 runs in 21 ODIs at an average of 27.06. In the first two matches of the ongoing ODI series against Australia, he walked on the very first ball without opening the account. Mitchell Starc got him out LBW both times. After all, what is the reason that T20 batsman Surya is not able to do wonders in 50 over format. Let us know the reasons for his failure.

#1 Difficult to adapt from T20 to ODI
Suryakumar Yadav might find it difficult to adapt his game from T20Is to ODIs. It is difficult for any player to be successful in every format of cricket. Test cricket requires better defense and technique, whereas ODI cricket requires innings building and shifting gears at the right time. T20I cricket requires a big strike-rate and the power to hit from the very first ball. Surya has mastered the 20-20 with his 360-degree hitting skills, but the longer format is yet to come. In the last 18 months, Yadav has played a lot of T20 matches, which might be making it difficult for him to adapt to the 50-over format.

#2 Batting positions are not fixed in ODIs
It is the responsibility of the team management to give a chance to the new player in the playing XI. If a player has no idea of ​​what the team requires from him, he is unlikely to be successful. Surya has played 19 innings in his ODI career so far, but he has batted at four different positions. Has batted once at number three, four times at number four, 11 times at number five and thrice at number six. He has been most successful at number five. Scored 320 runs at this position with an average of 35+ scoring two half-centuries. Obviously giving a player more chances at one position will help him to be successful.

#3 Was he selected in ODI based on T20I form?
Some feel that the selectors picked Surya for the ODIs on the basis of his performances in the T20I format. This argument may be correct as Yadav has played 123 List-A matches and registered only three centuries so far. His batting average in List-A cricket is below 35, while his highest score is 134*. Indian selectors should allow Yadav to play more List-A matches at domestic level before picking him in ODIs.
