Raina strongly believes in exclusion Suryakumar Yadav Of the Champions Trophy 2025 squad represents a major setback for India. Raina emphasized Suryakumar's exceptional batting skills and described him as someone who can score at a fast pace and change the course of matches. Suryakumar's ability to play unorthodox shots, adapt to different game situations, and create breakthroughs with his strokes will undoubtedly be missed. Raina also highlighted the challenge India faces due to Suryakumar's absence, especially in the top order.
“Soriya was an integral part of the World Cup squad, he is a 360-degree player and can score at an average of 9 runs at any stage of the match. He can control the opposition and bat in a different way. If Syria had been there, he would have been Factor X; He would be missed. The responsibility now will fall on the top three, who are not at their level. Suriya is someone who can bat at any positionRaina said in the Star Sports press room.
