Why didn't Suryakumar come to number 10? Sunil Gavascar has counted 2 strong reasons

Former Indian captain Sunil Gavascar praised the decisions of Captain Suryakumar Yadav in the 12th match of Asia Cup 2025 against Oman. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India achieved a hat -trick of the victory in the Asia Cup 2025. However, India won by just 21 runs in the third and final group stage against Oman on Friday. The captain did not bat. He decided to introduce Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav in front of him in the batting order. Many experts have criticized the move, but Gavaskar believes it was a wise decision. Gavascar spoke at Sony Sports Network, saying: “If Suryakumar Yadav had even batted a too much, he could have beaten a few fourths and sixes, which would have been good for him. But the way he beat Pakistan may not have had to bat. Many experts have criticized the move, but Gavaskar believes it was a wise decision. In the match played in Abu Dhabi, India scored 188 runs against the loss of 8 wickets. Sanju Samson scored 56 runs for India. In response, Oman was able to score 167 runs at the loss of 4 wickets in the scheduled overs.
