“I am relieved to see SKY in the World Cup squad”, says Ab De Villiers.

Legendary South African batsman AB de Villiers expressed his appreciation for Team India’s decision to include Suryakumar Yadav in their World Cup 2023 squad, showing confidence in Yadav’s cricketing abilities.

Suryakumar Yadav has established himself as an exceptional T20I batsman, earning recognition for his impressive performances. However, there has been ongoing discussion about his performance in ODI cricket, with some questioning his suitability for the format and suggesting other players, such as Sanju Samson, as alternatives. Nonetheless, AB de Villiers believes that Suryakumar Yadav has the potential to excel in ODI cricket and unlock his true potential.

Ab de Villers“I am relieved to see SKY in the World Cup squad. You guys know I am a big fan. He plays in a similar fashion to how I used to in T20 cricket. He hasn’t cracked ODI cricket yet, but it’s a tiny mind switch that he has got to make. He has all the ability to do it and I hope he gets his opportunity in the World Cup.”
