What's new

Is SuryaKumar Yadav the most overrated/overhyped player ever?

Atleast he is not selfish unlike some of the subcontinent stat padders who mostly play match losing knocks to boost their averages!
 
If you learn anything from Dhoni's career you don't need 360 degree shots in one dayers. Bit of calculative approach will take him a long way in this format. I don't agree that this format is reserved for some elite tuk tukkers. Agree that conventional stroke players are likely to be far more consistent in this format as it allows them to go at their pace in certain phases. Once they get set they can unleash. But guys like SKY who are more used to enforcing from ball one can find too many overs infront of them. That is where traditional cricket can help SKY a lot. He is not used to playing traditional cricket. He can maximize his X factor this way. It is more a mindset issue than skill issue. Not every one has that ability to switch between formats. In ODI he has to play slightly less aggressively.
 
Longer the format bigger the chances for bowlers to set up batsmen. Couple of boundaries in an over of T20, bowlers will be defensive after that. Not the case in ODI MO and certainly not the case in tests. Bowlers will prey on your weaknesses of which SKY have many. SKY is the antithesis of Shiv Chanderpaul. Shiv's stance was awkward while the bowler is in his run up, but after the bowl is delivered he is in a good position to play. SKY stance is normal at start but after the bowl is delivered invariably he is in an awkward position.

He is assuming the same role in T20 which is not a bad thing when he bats at 7. But for a no. 4 batsman his game has to be a lot more calculative. Assessing pitch conditions, which bowlers is in good rhythm, which bowler to target lot more thought process has to go into place. He has pretty much all the shots in the book. Perhaps too many shots for a one day game.If he finds a way to rotate strike he can do the role of Maxwell. Remember Pandya for a brief period had this crooked stance deep inside the crease where he would try to whip everything through mid wicket in an ungainly fashion. Moment he switched to traditional stance he is a bit more consistent albeit he lost a bit of edge in his hitting. SKY can work on that.

A nothing cricketer. Succeeding in hit and giggle cricket doesn't mean anything.

And some people were comparing him with ABD!

He’s better than Abd who has 1 gilder duck in odis while sky already has 3 golden ducks back to back. What a player. As I said he excellent for Mickey Mouse cricket in t20 but in real formats he makes Asif Ali look good.
 
He’s a good prospect for 20/20 once he gets going - Hard to stop.

But has a poor defensive game hence he hasn’t matured in the longer formats.

Shocking ODI series.

How many other batters have got three ducks in a series ?

The world's top-rated Twenty20 batter, India's Suryakumar Yadav, suffered his third consecutive golden duck on Wednesday in a thrilling third and final one-day international against Australia. The explosive Yadav is known as a 360-degree player for his ability to play all around the ground in the shortest white-ball format but he is yet to establish himself in the 50-over game.

Yadav was bowled first ball by Ashton Agar in the 36th over of India's chase in the final ODI. That left the hosts reeling at 185-6 with a target of 270 to win the match in Chennai.

The 32-year-old was leg-before to Mitchell Starc in the first and second matches of the series -- on both occasions also on the first delivery of his innings.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has backed Yadav as an important prospect for the ODI World Cup in India later this year.

Suryakumar is the sixth Indian batter to register three consecutive ducks in ODIs. Sachin Tendulkar (1994), Anil Kumble (1996), Zaheer Khan (2003-04), Ishant Sharma (2010-11), Jasprit Bumrah (2017-2019) are others.

I very much doubt any top order batter has 3 golden ducks in odis apart from now Surya
 
Rohit Sharma on SKY's performance -

"He only played three balls in three (games) this series. I don't know how much to look into it. He got three good balls, to be honest. Today, it wasn't that good ball; he should have gone forward. He knows best. He plays spin so well. We have seen that over last couple of years. That's why we held him back and give him that role for the last 15-20 overs where he can play his game, but it's really unfortunate he could only play three balls. That can happen to anyone. But the potential and ability is always there. He is just going through that phase right now"

So, Tendulkar also has :))


Rest are bowlers.
 
Based on what SKY has achieved so far in T20s, it makes perfect sense for India to stick with him for now in ODIs.

He will surely be deadly in the last 10-15 overs of an ODI. The only question mark is if he has the game to bat 40 overs if India were 50/3.

Since he is just a specialist batsman and can't do anything else (bit of bowling) and also not such a great fielder, he cannot find a place in ODIs (batting at No.7 - at least he should have been a part time keeper). He is the best definition of "T20 Specialist"....! Actually he should have played for Indian T20 team long back (he was even more lethal back then) - and T20 only! Indian dirty standards and outdated approach of selecting players based on seniority has cost us coming up with poor playing XIs in all formats (actually only in tests we are able to find a proper playing XI to some extent)

Sorry we can't take that kind of risk in ODIs.... ODIs is a different format and has different demands! All that was needed yesterday was to stay in the crease and develop partnerships (ODI is all about "developing partnerships" when it comes to batting and "breaking partnerships" when it comes to bowling) He should have that bit of defense to survive in ODIs... Otherwise we will continue to see these kind of soft dismissals (especially these 1st ball dismissals, consecutive wicket just after previous batsman has got out and bowler is on top!) He has place only at No.4 in ODIs (Specialist batsman), if he can't handle this, then he should not be in the team. We can't play him at No.7 - its a waste of space! Also in ODIs these slogging thing comes very rarely! Most of the times (when batting first) we will see top order batsmen getting settled and batting out most of 50 overs with No.7 hardly getting a chance to bat! While chasing most of the times we will see a scenario like yesterday where a damage repair task is required and partnership to be developed! That kind of thing (slogging in last 10 overs when all top order batsmen have got out) is an extreme rarity and for that purpose we can't invest on him (a pure batsman). So players like Axar, Jadeja, even Ashwin and then pure batsmen like S.Iyer score over him in ODIs...

Tests - Defense is the main priority for a batsman, Attack is the main for bowler
ODIs - Defense + calculated attack from both batsman & bowler
T20s - Total Attack from batsman, Total Defense from bowler (bowler can induce a wicket only by suffocating a batsman from scoring runs)

It was stupid to hype him and now stupid to discard him

he is a goo, just above average player.... thats how he should be looked at
he isnt a pathatic player..... he is good.... so lets not abs discard him

but for idiots thinking he the SKY and that n this, abs NOT .... he is average or just above avg ....
 
India skipper Rohit Sharma admitted that Suryakumar is going through a bad phase, but backed the underfire player.

Never rated him. I have always said he is bit of a hack (tulleybaaz) which may work sometime in T20 cricket but not in other formats. I always back players with good technique and assured defence in test/ODI cricket.

He is not overrated. He will come good. Just wait and watch. Come ODI WC, he will be the biggest threat down the order. India is counting on him to get them past 350 consistently.
 
Next ODI series Sanju Samson should come in place of SKY.

Sad story of Indian cricket - Pant injured, Iyer injured. SKY not making his chances count, Samson also was injured but now fit.

There were 5 options in middle order - KL, Pant, Iyer, SKY, Samson. Now Pant is mostly gone for World Cup and Iyer also is away for several months.

Problem is what if there are more injuries to come? If Iyer gets ruled out, then you are left with KL, SKY and Samson for 4 and 5. Out of these, SKY hasn't performed so if there is one more injury, then we are looking at someone from the young crop with barely any international experience like Tripathi or Patidar. I don't think these guys are capable replacement in the World Cup because that's the tournament of big boys, not some random bilaterals where a youngster comes in and plays fearlessly.
 
We rated him for T20s and he is failed in ODI format, he is still no1 rank batsman in T20 format
 
Australia legend Ricky Ponting has revealed what he would do with out-of-form white-ball star Suryakumar Yadav and the rest of India's much-vaunted batting line-up if he was in charge of selecting their squad for this year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.

While skipper Rohit Sharma, emerging opener Shubman Gill and veteran batter Virat Kohli are expected to fill the vital spots in India's top order, there are still at least a couple of places up for grabs in their top six for the 50-over showcase that is scheduled to be held later this year.

India’s middle-order woes came to the fore during their recent ODI series loss at home against Australia, with Suryakumar, in particular, failing to fire as he picked up the unwanted record of being dismissed for golden ducks in three consecutive innings.

Suryakumar has scored 172 ODI runs at an average of just 12.28 since his last ODI half-century in February 2022, but Ponting has urged India to stick with the Mumbai batter despite his bleak recent run.

"Yeah, absolutely. Everyone in their career goes through something like that," Ponting told host Sanjana Ganesan on The ICC Review.

"I mean, I'm not sure I have seen it before where someone's got three first-ball ducks in a row in an entire series. But look, we've all been there. You have your ups and downs as international players."

The former Australia skipper went on to mark out Suryakumar’s propensity to win big games, and referred to his exceptional run in the T20 format in recent times.

"His previous 12 or 18 months have been absolutely outstanding. And everyone around the world knows what Surya can do in white-ball cricket," Ponting noted.

"I feel they should stick with him because he's the sort of player that can win you a World Cup. He might be a little bit inconsistent but he's the sort of guy that in big moments can win you games. A bit like the late great Andrew Symonds did for Australia.

"So that's definitely the way that I'd look at it for India. I wouldn't be playing safe. I'd be going with match-winning players and I think he's a match-winner."

Ponting also believed that the player could be best utilised at the number five spot.

"I think he was only batting at five, wasn't he? I don't think they want him much lower than that, especially when they've got Hardik (Pandya), (Ravindra) Jadeja and Axar (Patel), they've got plenty of batting,” Ponting noted

"I'm a big believer in giving your best batter as much time as you can in all formats of the game. Because if you keep them down the order, quite often you don't get to use your best players and that's the last thing you want. So I think the No.5 slot's perfect for him and he's just got to grow into that role there."

There was speculation around who’d take gloves for the side after star keeper Rishabh Pant’s unfortunate accident ruled him out of cricketing action for several months.

While KL Rahul has donned the role in recent ODIs, Ishan Kishan continues to remain a part of the India limited-overs setup.

Ponting believes India will have space for both players in their World Cup squad, backing Kishan as a necessary option given he is a left-handed batter.

"Look, I do think they'll stick with him. I think in their World Cup squad, KL will definitely be there,” Ponting said.

“I think Ishan Kishan should definitely be there as well to give another left-handed batting option because if you look back to game three, they promoted Axar and Jadeja ahead of Surya because of Ashton Agar and the balls spinning away from the right-handers..

"With Rishabh not being there now, they might think of maybe wanting to play a specialist left-handed batter in the middle order which I think would have to be Ishan Kishan in some role, whether that's at No.4 or No.5.

"Just to negate teams that have got left-arm off-spin because when you look at the spinners around the world now, there are very few right-arm off-spinners in ODIs and T20Is.

"You need to have left-handers through your middle order. Most sides will have left-arm off-spin and right-arm leg spin and if you've only got right-handers through the middle order, it's a lot harder for those guys to play it.”

"So I think they'll go into that World Cup with the two keepers in their squad and they'll make the decision on what they need as far as their batting is concerned."

It’s a game of mental calculations and mathematics.

In T20 cricket, I feel SKY’s brain operates differently and his approach is more direct considering the small sample size of time and balls available to him. Plus he also has a great understanding of what approach to take considering the scoreboard at the time when his batting arrives, and how he pre plans on playing the bowlers of the opposition

He hasn’t quite cracked that in his mind for ODI cricket yet mainly because it’s a completely different ball game with the time available to him at the crease.

Sky is the kind of player that will be 100% confident on taking on 10-12 runs per over with 15 overs to spare in a T20, but totally confused on how to approach 5-7 runs per over required with 20-30 overs to spare.

It’s the same with Rizwan. As an opener, he has a plan in T20 cricket and is direct in his plan. In Test and ODI he doesn’t really know what to do with the vast amount of time available to him
 
Will be nice to see him playing in the ODI WC and failing again. Another golden duck wound be great.

Don’t think he’s tullaybaaz. Just a very specialized and niche skill set which suits t20s and not the other two formats.

Tullaybaaz would be if he closed his eyes and swung for the hills.

Tbh I still think he will come good in ODs at 6 eventually. 5 at most. No higher

Good question. Not that anyone cares about my views but it’s not like me spitting the truth and hurting people’s feelings is something I care about too. So here is my order of preference for that role

1. Mohammad Harris
2. Umar Akmal (most experienced and reliable to actually play a meaningful innings of high altitude)
3. Khushdil Shah (I believe in this guy. He’s a dangerous player if he plays for the Pakistan shirt and not for his own self confidence)
4. Iftikhar Ahmed (chacha can do it but I’m not too sure he is clutch enough)
5. Mohammad Nawaz (depends on what’s going on in his mind on the day. He is either a daydreamer void of the reality of the situation or is in inspired form. Strange person).
 
He is an aging guy. Besides even before his exploits last year his performance in India was up and down even in the IPL.

In ODIs, a bowler can bowl at consistent lengths such as good length or be abit more defensive. If he gets hit for a shot, he can always come back and bowl at the same spot and see if the batter will take the bait.

In t20, the captains with 5 bowling options dont have much choice. You see, for example, if Pakistan is playing, we know that Shaheen will bowl the first 2 overs and last 2 overs of the game. While in ODI, with a 10 over qouta, you can bring in your wicket taker any time you get attacked.

In t20, you dont have that option. Surya Kumar had a purple patch and everyone had gone gaga over him.

Fair enough, he deserved the praise, but what really tick me off were two things.

Saying taht Suyra Kumar is better than Rizwan even though Rizwan has 3 years of consistency while Sushnya had 1 year of performance.

Than the fact that he couldn't perform against Pakistan, and all the Indian posters and the Pakistan chamchay of India started saying that performing and not performing against Pakistan is not a standard...

Why not? Posters go gaga over performing against Australia or against India why not the other way around? Especially when we have a very good bowling attack which is very pacy.

Guy is yet to perform against us
 
SKY has been a complete flop in ODI format. I am surprised India are persisting with him in ODI.

Should only stick to T20.

With Iyer out to injury it is not a bad idea to give him a run and see how he reacts. He is not as bad as 0(1) three times in a row. But there are better batsmen out there for this format. But in T20 he is definitely a must have.

He will, just like KL Rahul, will never win India an important game. He will always be the guy who would smack around minnows and during bilateral tournaments, but come the big games or knock out games he would be found out.

It was a hit me ball and he hit it straight to the fielder at the boundary line. Luck seems to have deserted him completely at the moment.
 
Wow, his high was very high, and his low is very very low.

Wonder if he can ever recover to those heights again
 
Seems like he also wants to start a poultry farm with all the ducks.

Watching SKY bat is like watching a video game rather than a live match. He is not a human, he is an alien.
 
Only one team is capable of bringing a badly out of form player back into form, and that’s Pakistan.

Pakistan should be focusing on him over anyone else. When he comes out to bat I’d want him to face only Shaheen, Shadab and Ihsanullah, keep away the part time off spinners and Rauf.
 
Its sad to see any player endure such a run of form.

I hope he regains his confidence and pieces his game back together. It may be difficult to recover from the embarrassing run of form he is enduring.
 
He was expected to be inconsistent given the syle of his play. Yesterday was pure bad luck. As Ravi said he probably has to see off "3 balls" before attacking. This first ball boundary attempt has been his death knell more often than not.
 
He can be dangerous in t20 on flat pitches against average bowling attacks. But a poor batsman overall. His poor technique was brutally exposed by Australia in ODI series recently.
 
Wasim Akram in an interview:

"Look, he (Suryakumar Yadav) is a great player and everyone is aware of it. A batsman cannot be out of form because if you are out of form then you tend to defend the first two deliveries and don't go after hitting. With Suryakumar, the form is temporary and class is permanent. I understand he faced problems in the One-Days but no worries as the batsman goes through such a phase."

"Here, the team management will have to back him and tell him you are our match-winner. I am sure that guy has the ability to win the game on his own and will win one game which will look like an unbelievable performance"
 
55 off 29 balls today in the IPL.

Cracking innings that once again from SKY.

His international T20 stats are better than domestic stats. Just because he failed in ODI experiment it won't make him a bad T20 player. They just got carried away and put him in Tests/ODIs. Otherwise so many better batsmen in ODIs for India than him.
 
One of the great T20I players of the game. Other Asian countries would give one hand and one leg to produce a player of SKY's calibre in this format.
