Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav deserve to be in the Indian squad for the World Cup: VVS Laxman
Team India handed over a few maiden caps
across formats in the recently-concluded series against England and everyone
stood out. However, former India player VVS Laxman believes that both Ishan
Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, who had dream debuts in the recently concluded
T20I series against England, deserve to be in the Indian team for the
upcoming T20 World Cup which is slated to be played later this year in India as
well.
“What we have seen in this series is
that lot of youngsters have capitalized on their opportunities. But the way
Ishan Kishan played in his debut innings and then also the way Suryakumar Yadav
played, I think both of them will definitely be in my squad of 15. It’s a tough
choice, but I think both of them deserve to play in the Indian squad come the
World Cup,” said Laxman on Star Sports show Cricket Connected.
Both Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav
impressed everyone on their debuts. While Kishan smashed a stunning 56 on
debut, Yadav in his two matches scored 89 runs with a best of 57 and eventually
Yadav gotthe reward with an ODI call-up as well.
Meanwhile, pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar
Kumar has returned with a bang. With his stunning spells, he has cemented a
place in the squad for the upcoming T20 World cup. In the absence of Mohammad
Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar as done really well in the recently-concluded
series as well.
“Without a doubt, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, if
he is fit and is in form… because this team has displayed that it is obviously
going to go on form. There is a lot of time remaining from now to the start of
the World Cup,” said former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar. “In between,
there is an IPL tournament as well.
So, taking into account on how the decisions have been made, I believe that
there are still a lot of spots that are up for grabs. Players who were been
sidelined have still have a big season lined up between the World Cup
selection. So, I would not like to count anybody out of the World Cup
contention as yet.”
