  1. Farokh Engineer would prefer Suryakumar Yadav over Pujara or Rahane Former Indian player Farokh Engineer believes that Suryakumar Yadav should get a chance in the third Test between India and England at Headingley, Leeds. He has been in sensational form in recent times in the limited-overs formats and Engineer feels that he would do well in red-ball cricket too. On the other hand, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are unlikely to be replaced after their crucial 100-run stand in the second innings of the second Test which helped India put up a huge target. However, speaking to Sports Tak, Farokh Engineer has explained why he feels Suryakumar Yadav would be a better option than Pujara or Rahane as well. He 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."

  2. While many might feel that Suryakumar Yadav would not do justice to the Test cricket if he is given the opportunity after just having completed his quarantine a few days ago, Farokh Engineer feels that his addition to the team will be important. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav has already shown his ability in white-ball cricket that he has the versatility to play at any position and he can be a crucial part in India's middle-order. He again said: "People are usually reluctant to change a winning combination but like they say ‘horses for courses’. It depends on the wicket in Headingley. I don’t see it being too different. 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."
