NEW DELHI: The defeat to Australia in the just concluded ODI series is a timely wake up call but there is no need to press the panic button yet as far as Indian team's World Cup preparations are concerned.
Suryakumar Yadav's hattrick of golden ducks -- first ball dismissals - has already led to scathing criticism. But, if Shreyas Iyer is unavailable for the World Cup in October-November, Suryakumar remains the best bet at No. 4 going into the big event.
Suryakumar got a delivery each in the first two ODIs from Mitchell Starc that moved in the air and jagged back in after pitching on fuller length and 8 out of 10 times, batters would get dismissed from such balls.
The last ODI in Chennai saw Suryakumar playing a delivery, which he ought to have played on the front foot, by going back and he got out first ball again.
