Suryakumar Has Become A Template For Any Young Cricketer – Danish Kaneria

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Danish Kaneria said that Suryakumar Yadav has become a template for any young cricketer to be a fearless cricketer.

“He is a huge lesson to the youngsters, ‘ be a fearless cricketer’. He has become a template for any young cricketer. Any youngster playing first-class cricket and knocking on the door for internationals should adopt Surya’s approach and play fearless cricket,” Danish Kaneria said.

“There is no point in sticking around, seeing a few deliveries and getting set. Those days are gone, you have to go and express yourself and that is what Surya does so well. SKY is no limit, he has passed every limit,” he added.

Suryakumar Yadav Grabbed It With Both Hands – Danish Kaneria

The Mumbai batter made his international debut for India against England at the age of 31 and hit a six over fine leg off the bowling of Jofra Archer on the first ball he faced. Kaneria believes that despite his late entry into international cricket, Surya has excelled in every department with his relentless efforts.

“His career started late but when he did get the opportunity he grabbed it with both hands. He kept working hard and whatever he did in the nets, he started replicating it on the ground, at the international level. This is why no one gets tired of praising him. He is such a delight to the eyes.”

“When he comes to bat, the temperament is visible right from the word go. The Indian team has a lot of faith in him and they are aware that if he fires, he will set the ground ablaze.”
