R Ashwin’s advice to Suryakumar Yadav to Change Batting Approach After Poor Form

R Ashwin’s advice to Suryakumar Yadav: Former India veteran spinner R Ashwin has claimed that India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav needs to change his batting approach after poor form during the England T20I series.

R Ashwin’s Advice to Suryakumar Yadav on Improving His Batting

Suryakumar was able to lead India with his captaincy, but his performance with the bat in the 5-match series was disappointing. The 34-year-old scored 28 runs in 5 matches at an average of 5.60.

The most surprising thing about Suryakumar’s poor form was that it seemed like he was constantly getting out in the same way as Sanju Samson. Speaking on his YouTube channel, as quoted by Hindustan Times, Ashwin said that the real problem for Suryakumar is his batting, not captaincy. The former spinner pointed out that the captain and Sanju Samson were getting out on the same ball all the time.

R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “There is a Tamil film named Thillu Millu, in which Rajinikanth plays two different characters, one with a moustache and the other without a moustache. This is what Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav feel like.” Ashwin has said that the shot selection and style of getting out of Samson and Surya have been the same.

Suryakumar’s Shot Selection Under Scrutiny

Ashwin said, “Same ball, same field, same shot, same mistake, out in the same way. I can understand that this can happen in one or two matches, but it is surprising to happen continuously. When you know that a strategy is being adopted against you, it becomes your responsibility to find a new answer.

It has been very surprising from both the players.” Samson has been dismissed repeatedly to short balls and fastballs during this series, while Suryakumar’s strength has been exploited as his weakness, as he has been dismissed many times playing his signature flick scoop shot. Ashwin said, “Surya is a very experienced player.

He was part of the change in batting in Indian cricket, but I think now the time has come for him to change his approach a bit.” Ashwin advised Samson, “The mind will play tricks on Samson. If you have many questions in your mind, it becomes difficult.”
