In fact, during the press conference before the Super-8 match against South Africa, Surya Kumar Yadav was asked whether Sanju could come in the playing eleven… Yesterday also we saw that his practice session was very long. He remained on pace and spin wickets for a long time… will we see him playing in the upcoming matches? On this, Surya (laughing) immediately said – You mean, you are saying that I should feed him (Sanju) instead of Abhishek? Then the journalist said – Meaning number-3 may I… Then the captain said, meaning should I feed instead of Tilak? After this Surya took it as a joke and started laughing.
However, the Indian team was criticized a lot after the big defeat by 76 runs against South Africa. After which the team management changed its strategy and gave Sanju a chance in the big match against Zimbabwe and he gave a good start to India by playing a short but explosive innings. Now Sanju has played an unbeaten inning of 97 runs in a difficult run chase against West Indies. It will be remembered for years. This innings is also special because at one end Sanju was standing like a rock while at the other end captain Surya and the rest of the batsmen had returned to the pavilion cheaply.
Let us tell you that host India has been successful in making it to the semi-finals. India will face England in the second semi-final on March 5. This match is to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
