Mumbai, Aug 28: Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar strongly advocated the inclusion of stylish Mumbaikar Suryakumar Yadav as the sixth specialist batsman in the fourth Test against England, starting September 2.
“I don’t like to sound as if it’s a knee-jerk reaction but I firmly believe we need to strengthen our batting line-up by including Suryakumar Yadav ahead of Hanuma Vihari. We should drop a bowler and go in with six batsmen,” Vengsarkar, one of the best national selection committee chairman said.
In fact, Vengsarkar’s comments also aligned with another Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar who has also supported the six batsman theory. (PTI)
