Mark Waugh says, “Suryakumar Yadav’s real skill is to hit the ball where there is no fielder”
Former all-rounder Mark Waugh praised Suryakumar Yadav for his masterful knock in the second ODI of team India against Australia on Sunday, September 24, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
While coming to bat at No. 6, Suryakumar scored 72 runs in 37 balls and stayed unbeaten. On the back of his knock, laced with six fours and as many sixes, India scored 399 for the loss of five wickets after being put in to bat first.
Waugh said that Suryakumar has the potential to pick gaps, and it is hard to set a field when the Indian batsman is in prime form.
Waugh said, “He is completely unique. I have never seen a player hit the ball in the areas where he hits it. His real skill is to hit the ball where there is no fielder. That sounds simple, but that needs skills. He can manipulate the field and find the gaps."
