SKY must rotate strike: Sanjay Bangar

Tribune News Service

Mumbai, September 6

Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar highlighted Suryakumar Yadav’s batting woes in the middle overs in the ODIs, adding that the T20 specialist needs to learn to rotate the strike during the phase.

Although Bangar praised Suryakumar’s ability to churn out boundaries at any point in the innings, he asserted that the 32-year-old would need a clear mind on how to keep the runs coming in the middle overs.

“The biggest factor is that boundaries don’t come that easily in the middle part of the innings. When three or four wickets go, then how do you find the boundaries is the big problem because the ball becomes old,” Bangar said. “Suryakumar is a versatile player. He definitely targets boundaries and has a very good idea of where to hit them, but he needs to find out how to bat between the 25th and 40th overs.” — PTI

The BCCI delegation went to Lahore to watch the Asia Cup match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan on Tuesday.
