‘Please help me!’

"If I meet him soon, then I would like to ask him how he managed to balance his T20I and ODI games. I haven't been able to do so. I thought ODIs should be played like T20Is. I want to ask him what he did to be successful in both formats," Suryakumar Yadav said on Vimal Kumar's YouTube channel.

"AB, if you are listening to this, please get in touch with me quickly because there are three or four important years ahead for me. I'm very keen on playing ODI cricket as well. Please help me! I couldn't balance T20Is and ODIs," he added.

In the shortest version, Suryakumar has breached the 30-run mark on only two occasions in his last nine outings. And on four occasions, he could not even get double-digit scores. 

In the ODIS, where he is not a regular fixture - has amassed 773 runs at an average of 25.76 in 35 outings.
