India’s middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav had a forgettable series with the bat against Australia. During the three-match ODI series, he bagged as many golden ducks. In the first two games, Yadav was trapped lbw by Mitchell Starc in an identical manner. In the last game, the ball was kept low while playing against Ashton Agar. While the right-hander has been bashed by the fans, Yuvraj Singh has backed Yadav.

The former India player took to Twitter and mentioned that every sportsperson goes through ups and down. The left-hander added that Surya is a quality player and will play an important role in the 2023 ODI World Cup. The tournament will be played in October-November this year.

“Every sports person goes thru ups & downs in their career! We’ve all experienced it at sum point. I believe @surya_14kumar is a key player for India & will play an imp role in the #WorldCup if given the opportunities. Let’s back our players coz our Surya will rise again,” he tweeted.

Suryakumar Yadav got the backing of his captain

Meanwhile, after the ODI series, India skipper Rohit Sharma opined that Yadav got some good deliveries during the series.

“He only played three balls in three (games) this series. I don’t know how much to look into it. He got three good balls, to be honest. Today, it wasn’t that good ball; he should have gone forward. He knows best. He plays spin so well. We have seen that over last couple of years. That’s why we held him back and give him that role for the last 15-20 overs where he can play his game, but it’s really unfortunate he could only play three balls. That can happen to anyone. But the potential and ability is always there. He is just going through that phase right now,” he had said after the third Australia match.
