Suryakumar (32) scripted history in the contest as he became the first Indian player to make his debut in all three international formats after turning 30. He made his international debut in a T20I versus England in March 2021, at the age of 30 years and 181 days. His ODI debut came in July that year against Sri Lanka.
Yadav, who is ruling T20I cricket, has fared pretty well in First-Class cricket. The 32-year-old debuted in the format back in 2010. He owns 5,549 runs across 79 matches. He averages a healthy 44.75. The stylish batter has slammed 14 tons and 28 fifties. The dasher scored 223 runs across three innings in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season.
Due to Shreyas Iyer’s withdrawal from the first test, Suryakumar Yadav now has a chance to shine. Shubman Gill was ignored for No. 5 as Surya edged out his rival. The 31-year-old made his Test debut in Nagpur today.
India has chosen a risk-reward strategy with Suryakumar, despite the fact that his inclusion in the team has generated controversy. Ravi Shastri was the one who honored Surya with his Test cap. Along with SKY, KS Bharat also made his debut in the longer format for India.
