The 3-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka starts from July 27. This series is becoming very special for Suryakumar Yadav. He will lead Team India in this series. It is believed that Suryakumar has been made the captain of this format for a long time. If the performance of the team under his captaincy is good, he can also take over the team in T20 World Cup 2026. But a former Indian cricketer has made a big prediction about Surya. The veteran feels that Surya will not be seen playing in the big ICC tournaments.
Surya will not play this big tournament?
Actually Suryakumar Yadav was made the captain of the T20 team but he has been dropped from the ODI team. In such a situation, former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra has made a big prediction. He believes that T20 ace Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the Champions Trophy as he is not fit in the ODI squad. Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy is going to be organized in Pakistan at the beginning of next year. Before this India will get only 6 ODIs, out of which they will play 3 ODIs against Sri Lanka and Surya is not part of the squad for these ODI matches.
Akash Chopra's big prediction
While talking about Suryakumar Yadav on his YouTube channel, Akash Chopra said that Suryakumar Yadav was part of the team that reached the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. He was also in the team that played the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. But Surya is no longer part of the ODI squad. In such a situation, when a question was asked about Surya, it was said that he is a great and special player but he will be seen playing only in T20 Internationals. His name was not considered in ODIs. If his name is not being discussed and Champions Trophy is coming then you can assume that Surya will not be seen in Champions Trophy.
Agarkar said a big thing in the press conference
Ajit Agarkar gave a big reason for not making Suryakumar Yadav part of the ODI squad on this tour. Ajit Agarkar said that we have not discussed Surya in ODIs. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have returned to the ODI squad. Both these players performed brilliantly in the World Cup. Rishabh Pant has also joined the team. So Suryakumar Yadav will stay in T20 for now. Agarkar's statement also makes it clear that it is difficult for Surya to get a chance in the ODI team in the future as well.
