Ambati Rayudu wants Suryakumar Yadav to stay wary of his weakness

While he hasn't been able to showcase his mettle in the 50-over format, when it comes to T20 cricket, Suryakumar Yadav turns into a different player altogether. However, according to former India player Ambati Rayudu, Surya has some frailties in his game and the opposition could expose them. He gave the base of the World Cup 2023 final where Australia had recognised it and bowled him according to the plan.

"There is a plan in terms of bowling to Suryakumar Yadav. You bowl slow and you bowl wide. We have seen that in the World Cup as well. When the pitch is slow with a bigger boundary on one side, teams have a plan against him. He needs to work on that a little bit," he said while speaking on Star Sports.
