Dubai : Suryakumar Yadav is the leading run-scorer for Mumbai Indians this season so far with 233 runs in seven games with two half-centuries and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma will be expecting that he continues to perform the same way in the second half of the tournament.
Former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra believes Yadav could make it to the Indian team before the end of the year, impressed by his performance.

“I feel Suryakumar Yadav was the game-changer in the match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. The manner in which he is batting, whether you see his shots over the covers or his flicks or his cut shots,” Chopra said in a video uploaded on his official YouTube channel.
“The icing on the cake with cherry on top was the flick he played of Rabada’s bowling for a six. My jaw dropped after watching that six. I said that this player should play for India. “
“I am saying that before the end of 2020, he will be a part of the Indian team and I feel he will also play matches for the Indian team. This is a voice that is coming from my heart for this player and hopefully, that happens” he added.
Table-toppers MI will next face Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi on Friday (October 16).
