Gavaskar backs Suryakumar’s decision to not bat against Oman

DUBAI: (Sep 20) The legendary Sunil Gavaskar backed skipper Suryakumar Yadav’s decision to promote his teammates and not come out to bat himself in India’s inconsequential group match against Oman.

With India having already sealed a Super Four berth after wins over UAE and Pakistan, Suryakumar reshuffled the batting order to give the lower-order more game time, even pushing himself down to No. 11.

India posted 188 for eight and went on to beat Oman by 12 runs.
