IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: Saba Karim opens up about Suryakumar Yadav’s struggles in the ongoing IND vs AUS ODI series

Former cricketer suggests potential replacements for No.4 position in Team India's batting lineup ahead of the final ODI match against Australia.

Suryakumar Yadav’s recent ODI performances have been a cause for concern for Team India, with the batter failing to score in the first two fixtures of the ongoing three-match series against Australia. Former cricketer and commentator Saba Karim has commented on Yadav’s mysterious form, given his impressive T20I record and lackluster performances in ODIs.

In a disappointing turn of events, Suryakumar Yadav, Team India’s dynamic batter, has failed to make his mark in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia, bagging golden ducks in the first two fixtures. His poor form has prompted former wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim to question his place in the playing XI, suggesting that Shreyas Iyer could replace him once fully fit.

In a recent interview with India News Sports, Karim explained the potential replacements for India’s No.4 spot, with both Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan currently dealing with injuries. Karim also questioned the exclusion of Sanju Samson and emphasized the importance of having multiple options ready for crucial positions.
