"He Played Only Three Balls": Rohit Sharma's Honest Take On Suryakumar Yadav After Loss

India player Suryakumar Yadav is definitely not having the best of times. The batting star scored three consecutive golden ducks in India's just-concluded ODI series against Australia.

With an unimpressive start to the ODI career, his most recent failure against Australia has put him under the scanner again.

Poor application and their failure to build substantial partnerships was the reason for India's downfall while chasing a target of 270, which wasn't much according to skipper Rohit Sharma.
