Former India star Yuvraj Singh has hailed paceman Suryakumar Yadav and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah as crucial to the team’s chances in the upcoming T20 World Cup as they have the ability to “change the complexion of the game” in an instant. Yuvraj, who was instrumental in India’s title win in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007, said that Suryakumar will have to perform well for the team to win the cup for the second time, and also suggested that Bumrah should improve his performance. Need to perform. Best.

“Suryakumar Yadav (is India’s key player),” ICC quoted Yuvraj as saying.

He further added, “Because of the way he plays, he can change the course of the game in 15 balls. And he is definitely … for India to win this T20 World Cup, Surya is going to be important. “

“I think bowling is also important and I would like to see a leg spinner like Yuzvendra Chahal in the team as well, because he is bowling really well.

“But being a batsman, I would say Suryakumar Yadav (is the key player).” Discussing the options as to who should be India’s first-choice wicketkeeper, Yuvraj expressed satisfaction over veteran Dinesh Karthik’s form in the IPL but said there would be no point in picking the 38-year-old if he is not a part of the playing eleven. Not there. Young Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are playing very well in the team.

Yuvraj said, “DK (Karthik) is batting well, but the thing with DK is that last time (2022) when they selected him and the T20 World Cup was going on, he did not get a chance to play.”

“If DK is not in your XI then I don’t think there is any point in picking him. There is Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson and both guys are in great form and obviously they are young.”

“I would like to see DK in the team, but if he doesn’t play then you will pick someone who is young and can make a difference.”
