India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav has endorsed Riyan Parag for Sri Lanka tour following the pathetic show in Zimbabwe.

Riyan’s Selection Debated: Critics Question Team Selection Amid Underwhelming Performance

He only scored 2 and 22 in the two T20IS that he has played in the current Zimbabwe tour at the age of 22 years.

“I rate him very highly. I met him at the NCA before the IPL when we both were doing our rehabs. He has that X factor and he needs to keep everything aside and focus on that. He [has] realized that. In this year’s IPL, he was a different player from the previous 3-4 seasons. I am very happy for him,”

The way he was performing in domestic cricket as well in the last couple of years, it sets a good base. I am very happy that he is here with the team,” Suryakumar added.

It will also be a start of a new era in the Indian cricket team’s T20I career.
“Three players have retired and it will be difficult to fill their shoes, but the new players who have come in have practiced and played a lot. They have already done well in franchise cricket and also while playing for India. So I have a lot of trust in those three, who have just come in their place, that they will do well,” the 33-year-old remarked.
Besides, Riyan, the ones that will be part of the T20I batting line-up in Sri Lanka are, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh.

Hardik Pandya’s Importance Unwavering: Suryakumar Hopes for Consistent Performances

Though Hardik Pandya was not promoted to captaincy in the T20Is, Suryakumar was insistent that the all-rounder is still an important part of the Indian side.
“Hardik’s role has always been the same and it will remain the same. He is a very important player in the team. The way he performed in the World Cup, hopefully he can continue in the same manner,” the Indian captain commented in the same press conference.
Hardik Pandya had the vice-captaincy of the team during the 2024 T20 World Cup.
