"Don't Want Him To Open, Think No.4 Is His Best Spot": Ricky Ponting On India Star

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting feels Suryakumar Yadav must bat for India at no. 4 in T20Is, especially with T20 World Cup set to be held later this year. Suryakumar has been in fine form with the bat, which has seen him rise to the second spot in the ICC men's T20I ratings. He scored 135 runs in four T20I during the recently-concluded tour of the West Indies. Despite suggesting that Suryakumar can open the batting for India, the legendary Australia batter feels that the no. 4 spot is best for the Mumbai batter as he can control things in the middle for the team.

The lap shots, the late cuts, you know, the ramps over the keeper's head. He can hit down the ground," Ponting said on the latest episode of The ICC Review.
