"It Hurts, But I Accept It": Suryakumar Yadav on Champions Trophy Snub, Eyes On T20I format

Suryakumar Yadav, who is unfathomably proficient at T20 cricket and the captain of Team India in T20 Format, is potentially amenable to not being picked for the Champions Trophy team. Surya  wholly invested in leading India in the five T20I games against England that start on Wednesday, even though he won't be playing in the champions trophy.

Suryakumar( SKY) , spoke honestly about how being left out does sting a bit. surya  said it would obviously bother him because if he had played better, he would've made the group. But since he didn't, he's quite accepting of accepting that. surya  also thinks the team chosen for the Champions Trophy is solid because those players have been conjoining it in ODIs for India. The group is looking top rate, he said, recognizing the players who got selected. Then, to explain the details on why he might not have been picked, it is certainly obvious that his ODI game hasn't been as amazing as his T20 skills. In 37 ODI matches, he's only scored 773 runs, which averages out to 25.76 per game, not demonstrating the full extent of his talents.

Suryakumar Yadav said "If I do well, I would have been in Champions Trophy - if I don't do well, it's important to accept that - if you see the squad, its looking really good, they are all good performers - I am very happy for them - it hurts to think that I have not done well - if I had done well, I would have stayed there"

Suryakumar thinks that having Bumrah and Shami around is a major plus for India's chances. Surya remembered how amazing they were in the 2023 ODI World Cup and is hoping they'll be victorious in the Champions Trophy too. It's a bit unclear why, but Jasprit Bumrah can't play in the T20I series against England because of back troubles since the Sydney Test. Still, Suryakumar is staying positive about seeing Bumrah team with Shami in the Champions Trophy. It may seem odd, but the T20I series against England is also a chance for Suryakumar to show what he can do and try hard to keep his place in the ODI team. Mister Yadav's really set on helping the team win and making completely certain he's chosen again.
