Sourav Ganguly Picks Six Talented Players From IPL 2020, Also Gives Statement On Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav took IPL 2020 with a storm on the back of his brilliant batting. He was one of the players to get picked for Team India. But, selectors ignored the talented batsman once again. The former cricketers criticized selectors and raised questions on the selection policy. Now, Sourav Ganguly has said that the 30-year-old should wait as his time is not very far away.

The 30-year-old has emerged as the backbone of Mumbai Indians in the past couple of seasons. He was not a regular face when playing for Kolkata Knight Riders. But, since he has joined Mumbai Indians, he has played the majority of the games for the four-time IPL winners. He comes out to bat for MI at number three as it is one of the most important batting position as far as cricket is concerned. He was bought by MI back in IPL 2018 auction. And, he has muscled 1346 runs in 44 games at a very good strike-rate of around 140.

Sourav Ganguly said in an interview that Suryakumar Yadav has impressed everyone with his consistency. And, his Team India’s jersey is not very far away from him. He looked optimistic and said that Mumbai-born player time will come.
