ODI World Cup: Gautam Gambhir Warns India Against Suryakumar Yadav Gamble

India's squad for the ODI World Cup is set, with underfire players like KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav also fetching a spot each.

The talismanic Suryakumar Yadav finally roared back to form in ODI cricket, scoring 50 runs off 49 balls before being dismissed.

India vs Australia: Why Indian Batters Don't Bowl? Rahul Dravid's 'Five-Fielder Rule' Explanation

The Indian cricket team think-tank's urge to play more all-rounders in recent years has got a lot to do with the current crop of top-order batters not rolling their arms over unlike some of their illustrious seniors from the bygone era. The Indian team's desperation to field bits and pieces players like Axar Patel or Washington Sundar is based on two counts -- batters not bowling enough and tail-enders not displaying enough gumption with the willow. So what has changed? "I think it could be because of the rule change. Suddenly you have gone from four fielders inside the ring to five fielders inside the ring. I think that has drastically changed the ability of part-time bowler to be able to bowl in the middle phase," Dravid said in defence of his team in which none among Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer or Suryakumar Yadav bowl.
