'...it is our job': Rohit Sharma puts up passionate defence of Suryakumar Yadav amid T20 star's ODI woes

Hindustan Times  

Suryakumar Yadav gave a reminder of just how destructively good he can be on his day during India's third T20I against the West Indies. However, Suryakumar and Tilak Varma made it look like the bowlers had done no damage at all towards the end of that powerplay with India's score standing at 60/2 at that point. Captain Rohit Sharma, however, has said that his innings in the third T20I shows why it is important to give a player like Suryakumar extra chances. That is what he did in the third T20I, the batters at the top got out, and for Surya to go and bat like that….” Suryakumar's ODI stats stand in sharp contrast to his T20I record.
