Cricket is nothing short of a religion in our country.It is a festival, a celebration, and an emotion to millions. And, this overwhelming popularity of the game has obviously led to fierce competition for being in that ‘top 11’, which in turn results in missing some great talents in the nascent stages.
Similar is the case of Suryakumar Yadav. He debuted in Ranji cricket in his early 20s, but due to some or the other reasons, he had to wait for almost a decade to make his debut in ODIs.
He was already gaining attention in Mumbai circle, but was struggling to be in coveted 11 at the national stage. I remember Rohit Sharma tweeting about his talent and potential, way back in 2011.
I have been watching him since his KKR/MI days. Years passed, circumstances changed, but his craft kept on improving further and further. From recent past, he is being appreciated globally for Topping ICC’s Global Batsman Ranking. Some are trying to question the permanency of his form, but they all need to be told that he doesn’t seem STOPPABLE atleast in near future, especially owing to the struggles, patience and sacrifices he has had till date, ‘this SKY doesn’t seem to be fearful of ANY LIMITS’!!
