Former India cricketer and commentator Akash Chopra believes India should opt for fourth place between Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer in the upcoming T20 World Cup. In the T20 World Cup, India will have a lot of trouble choosing one of these in the XI. The fourth-ranked batting can be done, but Suryakumar and Iyer are the main contenders.

Akash Chopra, on his YouTube channel, said: ‘The most difficult question is who you want to choose. I am not in a position to say anything at the moment and I think the selectors are also in a position to make a decision. If Rahul and Rohit are open and Kohli is third, you have Ravindra Jadeja and then Washington Sundar if you play Hardik and Rishabh Pant at 5 and 6. So there’s only one slot left and that’s the fourth number. So neither Shreyas nor Suryakumar. It’s a tough call.

Akash Chopra believes that Iyer has more experience than Yadav. But before the T20 World Cup, form is more important and will determine the position in the playing XI. Ayer missed the first stage of IPL 2021 but is ready to make a comeback. Now it remains to be seen if Shrabh Pant will be given Delhi captaincy as he tops the point table before the tournament is postponed.

Suryakumar Yadav made a brilliant debut in the T20 series against England. Iyer could go with Iyer if he performs well in the IPL but if Suryakumar performs well in the six matches against Sri Lanka and continues to do so in the IPL, you should go with Suryakumar.
