The right-handed batter has reached the same level as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in terms of fan popularity in India, in less than 2 years. He has already proved himself to be a revelation in T20Is and now rapidly inching toward becoming an all-format player for India. A permanent for India in T20Is, Surya is always in the reckoning for ODIs as well and now SKY could be making a jump from India blues to India whites.
If included in the playing XI, India’s Mr.360 is expected to bat at No. 6 for India, with KL Rahul slotting in at the No. 5 spot. With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are likely to open followed by Cheteshwar Pujara at 3 and Virat Kohli at 4.

The availability of Rahul, Surya, and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle order and R Ashwin at 8 will make for a strong batting line-up. India can then opt for either three pacers or two quicks and one additional spinner in Axar Patel as per the Nagpur pitch.
The 32 years-old inclusion in India’s Test Playing XI makes sense because he can fill the void caused by the absence of Rishabh Pant. Rishabh is out for a long time following his accident in December. Like Pant, Surya too likes to attack, and while he may not be as dangerous as Pant in Tests but we all know what he is capable of.
Suryakumar Yadav ruled T20Is in the year 2022. Although Test matches are a different kettle of fish altogether, SKY may find his calling in the format he has always dreamt of playing in.
