Shastri Backs SKY To Bat At Number Five For India In Nagpur Test Against Australia

By IANS News February 08, 2023 • 17:06 PM View: 963

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has backed Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number five in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, to be held at VCA Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur from Thursday.

Suryakumar hasn't played Test cricket yet, and his selection in the Test squad for the first two matches against Australia came largely on the back of his highly impactful performances in T20Is.
