India trainer Rahul Dravid does not wish to ring the alarm bells but, however he feels that in the case of ODIs, surya remains to be studying the ropes. “He has played a lot of T20 cricket in the IPL and then in India colours, but is learning the 50-over game a bit as he has not played enough of it. We need to give him some time and be patient with him, ” Dravid stated.
The batsman has controlled simply 110 runs in his final 10 ODI innings, and averages 25.47 from the 22 ODIs he has performed to this point, prompting questions on his talent to evolve to the longer white-ball layout. It turns into the entire starker, given his heroics in T20Is, the place he averages 46.5 and has a strike-rate of 175.7.
Dravid stated Surya had performed a large number of high-pressure T20 video games within the IPL however there may be “no equivalent tournament” in home one-day cricket. “Even though he hadn’t played for India for a really long time, in T20 cricket he played nearly 10 years of the IPL, which as a tournament is almost like international cricket. But he has hardly had similar 50-over game time. All that he has got over the years is Vijay Hazare Trophy,” Dravid stated.
While stating that Surya the ODI participant remains to be an unfinished product, Dravid stated he used to be now not too involved in regards to the batter’s dismissals to mitchell starc, “He got two first-ball ducks, but both were off pretty good deliveries first up. We need to be a little bit more understanding of the situation,” he added.
The crew control thinks extremely of Surya and sees him as a an important cog within the run-up to the ODI World Cup in October.
Even on Tuesday, Dravid, with batting trainer Vikram Rathore in tow, had a longer dialogue with Surya after the 32-year-old had completed his batting consultation on the Chepauk nets. “We certainly see the upside of him doing well…Surya getting runs in ODIs would be very good for the team,” Dravid stated.
