'Surya must bat at No. 3 in T20 WC': Brian Lara

Suryakumar usually bats at No. 4 for India with Virat Kohli at three. Kohli opening the innings alongside Rohit to accommodate Surya at three could be an option, but that will leave Yashasvi Jaiswal on the bench. “Just find a way to make Suryakumar bat at three,” stressed Lara.

Suryakumar Yadav should bat No. 3, feels the legendary Brian Lara as he rooted for an India-West Indies final at the T20 World Cup next month. 

“My advice, and I don’t know if you’re going to like it or not, but SKY has to bat at three. He just has to bat at three. He is one of the greatest T20 players. And you speak to players like Sir Viv, and he’ll tell you he used to want to get out there in the middle. And I feel that it’s the same with SKY. So, get in on it as quickly as possible. He’s not an opener, get him out there and if he can bat for 10-15 overs, you know what’s going to happen. He’s going to put you in an unassailable position if you bat him first, or he’s going to win the game if he’s batting second. And then let everybody sort themselves outside of that,” explained Lara.
