IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Suryakumar at 35, late bloomer and numero uno

It has only been four years since that hot March evening in Ahmedabad. After being denied a spot in India’s conventional stack of T20 bats for long, Suryakumar Yadav ensured that his one chance at 31 would not go to the bin unnoticed. Marching to the turf, Mumbai’s super-striker instantly delivered a statement for the world to see, smasing a scorching Jofra Archer’s fiery bumper over fine-leg for six. Suryakumar Yadav’s rapid rise in the shortest format was married with the changing winds in Indian cricket this decade, where the intent quotient steadily grew over the high-average bats. And he’s not been short on consistency either. In only 80 innings, Suryakumar has plundered 2605 runs at 38.30 with four centuries, only bettered by Rohit Sharma.

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Shoaib Akhtar unhappy with Pakistan squad

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has said that he is not happy with the side that Pakistan have taken to the UAE for the Asia Cup.

“I think Pakistan has to bring an A+ squad (to an event like Asia Cup), first of all. I have a problem with the selection anyway, with this old squad in the first place. You don’t have a new ball bowler with Shaheen Shah Afridi. If the fast bowler is there, he should be in the squad,” said Akhtar on PTV Sports.

When asked which bowler he would have picked, he said: “Naseem Shah.”

He went on: “Fast bowlers are like babies, right? Selection is not right. Now the problem is that you don’t have the whole bowling attack.”
