Suryakumar Yadav managed to score only 8 runs in the 1st Test match against Australia. He played 20 balls and was bowled by Nathan Lyon while trying to play a drive. India is now 5 wickets and still trails Australia by 6 runs.
At the moment, Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma at batting for India and the Australian bowlers are breathing fire against them. The Indian team needs at least a lead of 100 runs to put the pressure on Australians.

Netizens on Twitter are claiming that Suryakumar Yadav is not Test material, and the team management has made a mistake by not selecting Shubman Gill, who is in sublime form in the playing XI of the 1st Test match.
Except for Rohit Sharma, every India batter has looked uncomfortable.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to Suryakumar Yadav’s Dismissal in the 1st Test match between India and Australia

Plz consider Gill as a Opener
And Push down #KLRahul on 4th position#INDvAUS #RohitSharma𓃵 #ViratKohli𓃵 #CricketTwitter https://t.co/I7aXpeX1xH
Replacing #rishabpant with #SuryakumarYadav is like replacing Aishwarya Rai with Sneha Ullal.

Looks alone are not enough, talent is what matters most.#BGT2023 #BGT23 #sky
SuryaKumar getting consumed by the hype surrounding him. That was a terrible shot to play in a test match. It's only his debut, understandable. Never praise a player too much. #SuryakumarYadav

So experimenting with @surya_14kumar and continuing with poor performance of @klrahul is biting India back in this game @BCCI #INDvAUS #RohitSharma𓃵 #kohli #SuryakumarYadav #Jadeja @cricbuzz @bhogleharsha

I don't think Suryakumar Yadav is the kind of batsman you would want to have in your team in the longest format of the game, which is ODIs and Tests. Unless he bats like he does in T20s. He can't defend the ball. #INDvsAUS #INDvAUS #SuryakumarYadav

So bad run for #ViratKohli continues and #SuryakumarYadav hasn't had the greatest start to his Test career. Once again the onus is on #RavindraJadeja to score runs to get us a good lead. Good comeback by Australia but India would be disappointed. #INDvAUS #INDvsAUS
