Fans reacts on Suryakumar Yadav’s inclusion in the Test squad against Australia

The inclusion of Suryakumar Yadav, the star batter from Mumbai, in the squad has been met with excitement and anticipation from fans.

Suryakumar Yadav, the No.1 ranked T20I batter, has been included in India’s Test squad for the first two matches against Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, set to begin on February 9th in Nagpur. This marks a big step for Suryakumar, who was previously only named as a backup option for the England series in 2021 and did not feature in any matches.

Suryakumar has been in great form in recent domestic cricket, returning to the Ranji Trophy to boost his red-ball aspirations. He played a magnificent 90-run knock against Hyderabad and then went on to score 95-run in the first innings and 38-run in the second innings against Saurashtra.

Fans have been excited to see Suryakumar in the squad, and many have also backed his inclusion in the playing XI, saying that he will bring an attacking intent to the team.

Here are some of the reactions from fans:

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will begin with the first Test in Nagpur from February 9th and the second Test in Delhi from February 17th. Many fans are looking forward to seeing how he will perform on the big stage
