The 22 year Old Ishan Kishan made his call up pretty much sealed by scoring superb innings of 173 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, hours before the squad announcement.
IPL Star Suryakumar Yadav who had been consistently scoring big runs for Mumbai Indians in IPL and Mumbai Team in domestic cricket finally gets his long due big break.
“I was disappointed when the Indian team for the Australian tour was announced because I was expecting to be picked as I was batting well and scoring runs. I have been scoring a lot of runs in white-ball cricket over the last 2 years, not just in the IPL alone. I was expecting to get that call. When I didn’t get the call I was a little disappointed but the show must go on so I tried not to think too much about it,” Surya had said, after getting unpicked by for the Australia tour.
Now, after his much-awaited maiden call up, : Suryakumar Yadav took to his official Twitter handle to express his happiness after getting an India call-up and tweeted, “The feeling is surreal,” along with his photo.
