Bangladesh will tour to India in September to play Test and T20 series. After the 2-match Test series, the two teams will play three T20 matches. But before that series there is a sudden uncertainty about Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Recently Suryakumar Yadav got injured while participating in a domestic cricket tournament. The injury was so serious that Surya had to leave the field. Because of this, there is uncertainty about his participation in the Bangladesh series.
How Suryakumar Yadav got injured
Surya played in Mumbai’s last match in the Indian domestic league Buchi Babu tournament. Surya scored 30 runs in the first innings against TNCA. But the actual incident happened in the second innings.
Surya got injured while fielding in the second innings of the match. He jumped to block a ball from Mushir Khan when the batter pushed it towards the leg slips. And that’s why he got hurt. It is believed that he got pain somewhere in the body due to jumping. The Indian star cricketer left the field in pain.
Talking about the match, Mumbai’s team was reduced to a score of 156 in the first innings. On the other hand, Tamil Nadu scored 379 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, Tamil Nadu scored 286 runs and Mumbai had a target of 510 runs.
Duleep Trophy is very important for Surya
Suryakumar Yadav has to participate in the Duleep Trophy starting from September 5, which is going to be very important for him. Actually, India-Bangladesh Test series is going to start from September 19, for which the team has not been announced yet. If Surya performs well in the Duleep Trophy, then he will be able to present a strong claim for selection in the Test team.
Let us tell you, in the T20 series played with Sri Lanka, Surya was given the command of Team India in the T20 format. In such a situation, now he has a great opportunity to cement his place in the Test team. So far Surya has played only 1 Test match.
There is no official word on Surya’s injury till now. However, there are many speculations about whether he will be able to participate in the Bangladesh series. If he is ultimately unable to play due to injury, then India will have to select a new captain.
