Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta said he would hand debut to Suryakumar Yadav in place of Shreyas Iyer in the first T20I against England in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Dasgupta said, Suryakumar, who has earned his maiden call-up for the five-match T20I series against England, will be better suited at No.4 than Iyer, who has been batting in the middle order for India in the last few limited-overs series.
“I would play Suryakumar Yadav before Shreyas Iyer. It’s just that at No. 4 in T20 cricket I think Suryakumar Yadav is better suited at this point in time,” Dasgupta told Sports Today.
