I would certainly prefer Suryakumar Yadav over Pujara or Rahane: Farokh Engineer

Former Indian cricketer Farokh Engineer has opined that he would prefer to slot in Suryakumar Yadav in the Indian Test team middle-order in place of either Rahane or Pujara. He described Suryakumar as an aggressive and match-winning player who could be a trump card for the Indian side.

In a conversation with Sports Tak, Farokh Engineer spoke about the traits of Suryakumar Yadav that makes him a special player and said:

"Firstly, I am a huge fan of Suryakumar Yadav. I think he is a class player. I would certainly prefer him to Pujara or Rahane. They are class players, very good players, but Suryakumar Yadav is a match-winner. He is an aggressive player; he will get you a quick hundred, a quick 70-80. He is a fabulous batsman, fabulous fielder, and a wonderful human being as well."

Farokh Engineer added:

"The Headingley pitch will be a good Test wicket. It’s considered to be one of the finest batting pitches in the world. So, I would like to see the inclusion of Suryakumar Yadav. He is the trump card in the team."
