Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has expressed confidence that Suryakumar Yadav, a specialist in T20 cricket, can make a splash in Test cricket as well. Suryakumar Yadav has been selected for the first two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Surya has had an amazing year in T20 cricket. He is ranked number 1 in the ICC T20 rankings, while recently he has also been awarded the T20 Cricketer of the Year 2022 award. Suresh Raina believes that SKY has the potential to score multiple hundreds and double hundreds in Test cricket.

‘Absolutely, the way he is performing,’ the former Indian cricketer told Geo Cinema. I think he should play in all three formats and without him all three formats should not exist. The way he performed, the way he shows intent, the way he plans different shots, he also plays fearlessly and knows how to use the ground.
He further added “He’s a Mumbai player and knows how to play red-ball cricket. I think he’s got a good chance – playing Test cricket will give him another reputation in ODIs as well as some stability. And then will score 200 runs.
Let us tell you, Australia’s tour of India will start from 9th February. During this, apart from the four Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, a three-match ODI series will also be played. This Test series for India is special in many ways. Team India will be eyeing to make it to the finals of the World Test Championship by beating Australia and achieving the first position in the ICC Test rankings. If India beat Australia 2-0 or 3-1, they will be crowned number 1 in Tests after T20s and ODIs as well.
