Irfan Pathan names India's 360-degree player

Suryakumar Yadav, the right-handed batter who had a poor outing in the recently concluded Twenty20 World Cup made a superb comeback in the first T20I against New Zealand at Jaipur on Wednesday, exhibiting 62 off just 40 deliveries to steer India to a 5-wicket victory. Yadav was highly praised by Irfan Pathan who called him a 360-degree player. Pathan said, "Suryakumar can play in all directions. He has the ability to cover all directions also. He plays well against spin and he also can tackle pace. He showed his complete abilities in the first T20I." Former batting coach Sanjay Bangar also had a high appreciation for the batter's performance on the day.
