The right-handed batsman Suryakumar Yadav, who has struggled to find his mojo in one-day cricket following a brilliant run in t20 format, knows that he has to perform well, and the team management would give him a longer run, according to india captain rohit sharma on Sunday. As a result of Suryakumar's repeated leg-before traps off Mitchell Starc's inswinging deliveries in the first two One-Day Internationals against australia, his dry spell in the format has become longer.

Suryakumar played in the match on Sunday, his 16th ODI overall without scoring fifty, with his highest score against new zealand being an unbeaten 34. In place of Shreyas Iyer, who is sidelined with a back ailment and has no estimated time of return, Suryakumar left at No. 4.

The return of (Shreyas) Iyer is unknown to us. Currently, there is a slot open, therefore we must perform him (Suryakumar). After India's 10-wicket loss to australia in the second ODI, Rohit spoke to the media. "He has certainly displayed a lot of talent with the white ball, and I have stated it many times before (that) those with potential would be given some run," Rohit said. However, netizens are asking why not include sanju samson who is in awesome form and still being rejected.
