Vinayak Mane, a current Parsee Gymkhana coach and a former batter for Mumbai, stated that if given the opportunity, flashy batter Suryakumar Yadav will undoubtedly work to secure his spot in the Test team. The slick batsman is already well-known in white-ball cricket, particularly in T20Is where he is ranked first. 

Mane and Suryakumar have worked out together numerous times at Parsee Gymkhana because they had played domestic cricket together.

The gifted batsman made his international debut last year and is currently the top-ranked T20I batter according to the ICC. He has recently performed well in ODIs as well, but he has not yet played in a Test match.

The 32-year-old was twice called up to the Test team but was not given a chance to make the starting XI. 

“You can’t predict whether Suryakumar Yadav will be successful in Test matches but I can vouch that he will make the effort if he is given a chance,” coach Vinayak Mane told PTI.

Mane has known Surya for a very long time, and they both happened to have previously played for the same teams through coincidence. When Surya joined Parsee Gymkhana, whose top boss Khodadad S Yazdegardi also provided for the man, he first got to know him well. 

Suryakumar Yadav Always Had The Shots: Vinayak Mane

Surya joined Parsee Gymkhana, whose top boss Khodadad S Yazdegardi also took good care of the man, and Mane began getting to know Surya well at that point. 

“I was still playing a bit of cricket and had just started coaching when Surya came to Parsee Gymkhana. He has had some rough time in Mumbai cricket and he was trying to turn the corner. He always had the shots and everyone who saw him knew that he will play for India,” Mane, who played 54 first-class games, said.

So how did Surya get ready for the climate in Australia? The praise should go to Mr. Khodadad, who enjoys Surya as well. We specifically had a hard wicket with a heavy dusting of grass prepared for his training at the Parsee Gymkhana ground. 

“One of my students, who is a Mumbai U-23 player, Om Keshkamat, acted as a left-arm side-armer giving throw-downs with the robo-arm. Surya is also fond of Om. I also had all kinds of bowlers giving him a decent practice,” Mane said.
