After the disappointing semi-final exit from 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England, the Indian fans will now approach the 2019-20 international cricketing calendar. However, the search for India’s number four batsman still lingers. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav continues to keep piling on runs in the domestic circuit. Even though the Mumbai Indians batsman is knocking the right doors for a team India call-up, luck does not seem to be going his way as he is yet to don the Indian jersey for any international format of the game. With Rishabh Pant’s repeated failures in white-ball cricket, it is about time that BCCI and the Indian team management took notice of this sparkling young talent in order to brighten up India’s chances for the upcoming ICC World T20 in Australia next year.

Suryakumar recently smashed 81 runs off 31 balls in a Vijay Hazare Trophy game against Chhattisgarh. His stroke-filled innings included eight hits to the fence and six hits over it. Even though his innings came in a losing cause for Mumbai, he surely earned many fans and admirers for his effort. One of those admirers is legendary Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. Upon repeatedly ignoring the 29-year old talent, Harbhajan has slammed the MSK Prasad-led Indian selection committee. The 103-Test veteran strongly believes that the selection committee has remained keen on ignoring Suryakumar in spite of his recent domestic exploits. In his tweet, Harbhajan also had some encouraging words for the right-hander and urged him to keep working hard and ensured that his time will come.

As he tries to make his way into the Indian team, Suryakumar Yadav will continue to play Vijay Hazare Trophy for his home side Mumbai. He also plays for Mumbai Indians in the cash-rich IPL and is expected to resume his duties for the franchise in the next year’s edition as well.
