Suryakumar Yadav believes teams must be flexible to master cricket’s 20-overs format and is fine with a floating position in India’s batting lineup, the explosive batsman said. Yadav smashed an unbeaten 68 off 26 balls as holders India thumped minnows Hong Kong by 40 runs on Wednesday to sail into the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup with their second successive win.
“I’m flexible to bat at any number,” said player of the match Yadav, currently third in the official rankings for Twenty20 batters. “I’ve told the coach and the captain – ‘play me anywhere, just let me play,” he told reporters with a smile. With an eye on the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia beginning next month, India has been constantly reining their batting lineup to identify a winning combination.
“We are trying a lot of things and experimenting a lot, and it’s better to try those things out in matches like this than in the nets,” Yadav said. The experimentation included the idea of batting first and Yadav said the players had a better idea of how to construct an innings and set up a winning target.
“What would be an ideal total, what type of tempo we need to set in the middle overs, how to finish it … everything was crystal clear.â€?“If I could not do that, Rishabh (Pant), Dinesh Karthik, or (Ravindra) Jadeja would have done that. We have enough firepower in that lineup.”
