Watch: Suryakumar Yadav's "Kachra" Stump Mic Remark On Kuldeep Yadav Leaves Fans Angry

Suryakumar Yadav has been dominating headlines in recent times due to his disappointing run of form for the Indian cricket team. The explosive batter got good starts in the first two ODI matches against West Indies but ended up gifting his wicket to Gudakesh Motie. With the ICC World Cup 2023 just a few months away, concerns have been raised about Suryakumar's form and the return of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer from injury will make it even more difficult for him to retain his place. Amid his troubles with batting form, Suryakumar has attracted the anger of certain fans on social media after a conversation with Kuldeep Yadav on stump mic went viral after the second ODI encounter in Barbados.

"One More Chance": Suryakumar Yadav Fired Stern Warning By Ex-India Star

Suryakumar Yadav once again got a good start but was unable to convert it into a big score as India were beaten by West Indies in the second ODI encounter in Barbados on Saturday. After scoring 19 in the first match, the explosive batter scored 24 off 25 deliveries before getting dismissed once again by Gudakesh Motie. With KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer slowly making their recovery ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023, Suryakumar has a tough road ahead of him and former India opener Wasim Jaffer believes that the 3rd ODI match can be the final chance for him to prove his mettle.

Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid reviewed Suryakumar Yadav's ODI batting performance. The star player, who is the top-ranked T20I batter in the world, has failed to impress with his stats in the ODI format. In 25 ODIs, Suryakumar has scored 476 runs at an average of 23.80. He has hit only two half-centuries in those games with his highest score being 64. Not only the stats but the modes of his dismissals have also been disappointing.

India registered a thumping five-wicket victory over West Indies on Thursday. Opting to bowl first, the visitors bundled out West Indies for 114 after Kuldeep Yadav took a four-wicket haul. Apart from him, Ravindra Jadeja also took three wickets. Later, Ishan Kishan smashed 52 off 46 balls as Team India completed the proceedings in 22.5 overs. The Indian team will be expected to return to its set batting order as it aims to put up a much-improved show with the willow and take an unassailable lead in the three-match series.

"Kept Suryakumar Yadav In My World Cup Team But For That...": Ex-India Star's Blunt Take

Suryakumar Yadav failed to score big during the first ODI encounter between India and West Indies in Barbados and his dismissal has attracted criticism from several ex-cricketers. With the visitors chasing a modest target of 115, Suryakumar was promoted to No.3 to score some quick runs but he ended up gifting his wicket to Windies spinner Gudakesh Motie. The explosive batter played a couple of trademark shots before he was trapped LBW while trying to play a sweep shot. Former India opener Aakash Chopra was disappointed with how Suryakumar was dismissed and in the latest video on his YouTube channel, questioned his decision to keep playing the same shot over and over again.

However, Kishan did repay the trust shown by the management, scoring a brilliant half-century after opening the batting for India during the modest chase of 115. Kishan scored 52 off 46 balls as India chased down the total inside 23 overs.

Sanju Samson vs Suryakumar Yadav: ODI 'Comparison Stats' Paint Intriguing Picture

As India skipper Rohit Sharma announced the playing XI for the first ODI against West Indies, there was no place for wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson. While Ishan Kishan got the wicket-keeper's spot in the team, it was Suryakumar Yadav who earned the nod at the No. 3 spot despite the horrific form he has been in ODI cricket of late. Seeing Surya struggle to score runs in the 50-over format once again, many fans sympathised with Samson who remains on the bench despite proving to be an asset in his recent outings in one-day cricket.
