Suryakumar Yadav was out on the first ball in all three series games. Consequently, he faced only three deliveries in the entire series without getting off the mark a single time. He thus became the first Indian batter to achieve the dubious distinction of three “golden ducks” in succession in the annals of the game. He was dismissed by the express pace of Mitchell Starc in the first two games and Ashton Agar showed him the way in the final game.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan lashed out at the Indian team management for constantly selecting Suryakumar Yadav across formats only because they will go by his T20I performance. Venkatesh Prasad slams KL Rahul, compares him to the likes of VVS Laxman also Shikhar Dhawan.
‘SKY is a great example of only a few players under the bubble of security are nurtured and developed. There is a difference between fifty-over cricket and T20 cricket. Whatever else you do, don’t put red-ball and white-ball in another category. Oh and SKY was also a part of Test team. You cannot have a player represent the country in all formats by looking at how he is performing in T20,” Sivaramakrishnan said.
Laxman Sivaramakrishnan also replied to tweets from people defending Suryakumar Yadav’s performances. ” SKY gets out first ball every game so no-one will know if he is fast enough for ODIs. “Remember when SKY was caught at slips Lockie Ferguson?” replied the former leg spinner.
