Suryakumar Yadav included in INDIA For ODI Series

India vs England – Suryakumar Yadav, Krunal Pandya, and Prashid Krishna included in India squad for ODI Series.

Suryakumar Yadav was unlucky to have been given in the 14th over after repeated always of Dawid Malan’s catch of Sam Curran by the TV umpire.

He started off by hitting Jofra Archer for a massive six off the first ball he faced, which was also a huge 143kph screamer. He maintained his fine form and registered 57 runs with 3 sixes and 6 fours in his knock-off 31 balls.

How can this be out? When you are not sure whether the ball was taken cleanly after watching so many replays using top-class technology and still go by the soft signal given by the on-field umpire. I think this rule needs to be revisited and changed. VVS Laxman
