NEW DELHI: Former fast bowler RP Singh has voiced his support for Suryakumar Yadav as a potential option for India's No. 4 position during the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup. With Shreyas Iyer's injury casting doubts over his participation in the tournament, RP Singh believes Suryakumar should be given ample game-time to prove himself ahead of the mega event.
India's struggles to find a reliable No. 4 batsman haunted them during the 2019 World Cup, and the same issue might arise again if Shreyas remains unavailable due to his ongoing recovery. However, despite Suryakumar's failure to replicate his T20I success in ODI cricket, RP Singh urges against ruling him out as an option.
