Surya kumar Yadav is a national treasure

I still feel SKY is a very decent player but the hype over IPL achievements for any player need to stop. 

 

 

Over the past year, he performed well beyond the IPL, too.  He has saved the team from embarrassment at the hand of weak opponents a few times when the others have been miserable failures.

 

He has single-handedly taken the team to good scores or helped chase down some totals.  Yes, several of those knocks have come against minnows, but not too long ago he dominated England in England - including scoring a 55-ball 117 in B'ham.  How soon we forget everything he brings to the table just because he has looked a bit off-color in 2 matches.

 

These are T20IS.  One guy cannot be expected to be the whole-and-sole saviour all the damn time.  Surya is still a new-comer (< 30 T20Is into his career), and compared to the senior pros on the team, he is a dominant force.  He has played every position from 1 to 3 to 4 ... maybe even 5, I don't remember ... so the oldies can be accommodated at their favorite spots. 

 

Like everyone else, he has some weaknesses.  But he has done more than most in overcoming them with his skill.  He has struggled to find his groove in UAE, but has not had the luxury of having anyone before or after him in the batting order give any confidence that they can score while he works things out a bit.  It's like Surya or bust for India (except for RGS' knock yesterday). 

 

If this team had 11 guys that have his attitude and team-spirit, they'd be winning a hell of a lot more matches.

Collective failure syndrome is making everyone look worse than they are. SKy atleast did something. Pant hasn't done much in T20 at all.

No one was asking SKY to carry the team yesterday or against Pakistan, or in last world t20. If he did his job in any of those matches it would have been a different story.Stop it with this nonsense it is Surya or bust.  to get to that position you need to do something first.

People think a players can do well in every game. Things don't work that way irrespective of how talented and good a player is. A player will have more failures than successes.

If that was case why do top three keep betting blamed for not winning trophies. They were getting them to finals and semi finals. India was one of the most consistent team before last world t20  in all formats.  Why are failures of knock outs pinned on them alone. Are there no other players in the team.

 

No one is saying SKY is bad player .

True. In those days, they were the youngsters pulling their weight for the team, while the then-oldies dragged the team back. 

 

Today, they are just paying it forward, I suppose.

I think it’s because of the way the top 3 fail in these crucial games, they will be blamed less if the probably scored 20-30, but in most cases they fail so spectacularly that we are 2 or 3 down within the first couple of overs. 9 out of 10 times it’s difficult to recover from such failures particularly if you are chasing a big total or trying to set a good total from there. 

[sarcastic]

Bumpety Bump....

All hail the national treasure, SKY that is!

Haan ji ... like I was saying ... ??

You get a good ball early in the innings as a batsman you cannot do much. What Rohit got  from Afridi will get him out 99 times out 100.

It was a normal inswinger everyone saw coming. Rohit never expected it and was on backfoot.

[Number]

Another great T20 knock. 

Now I am inclined to take him in one day side too.

Where was this treasure hidden before 2019.

That is just stupidity to say he did not expect that delivery. It was just too good.

both deal in 6s when they are on song, can deflate any bowling attack.

I think Australia will be a pivotal challenge. Bouncy tracks could be different kettle of fish.
