Suryakumar Yadav's Blunt Statement On 'Uncapped' MS Dhoni: "Has Anyone Been Able To..."

Suryakumar Yadav had sacrificed his number three slot for young Tilak Varma in the national side but the Mumbai Indians' vice-captain on Saturday dropped hints that he could bat at his familiar position, saying they have a flexible batting order.

Asked if he would again promote the flamboyant Tilak above him in the MI batting set-up, the stand-in skipper replied: "So you might see guys being flexible during this season, during this stint with the IPL. And everyone is flexible. Even I can bat at 3, I can bat at 5, Tilak can bat at 5. So it's that flexibility we have in our team." He then explained that it was Tilak's hard work that made him think of elevating his batting position in national set-up.

With Varun Chakravarthy proving to be a vital cog in India's successful run in the ongoing Champions Trophy, former opener Murali Vijay said on Friday that the mystery spinner is on the verge of becoming a world-class white-ball bowler because of his control on the carrom ball and the flippers.
