Suryakumar Yadav will carry on his aggressive flair if he gets an opportunity: Monty Panesar
Former English spinner Monty Panesar has oped up on Suryakumar Yadav’s role in his debut Test series if an opportunity comes up. Speaking to Cricket Addictor, Monty said:
“It’s about the adjustment for Suryakumar Yadav. A lot of Indian players love hitting the ball through the line and like to get bat on the ball. They find it really difficult to leave the bowl and let the bowlers bowl to them which is the key for batting in England.”
