'Make Him Bat at No. 3': Suryakumar Yadav's Brilliance Echoes Viv Richards, Says Ex-Windies Skipper

Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has hopped onto the bandwagon of cricket pundits speculating India's potential XI for the upcoming showpiece event. Joining the ranks of the game's luminaries, Lara advocates for Suryakumar Yadav to occupy the crucial No. 3 batting position .
