Though he could muster only 26 runs in three innings during the recent South African series, his presence will be priceless for the side. Suryakumar is expected to miss the opening matches and will join the team only in early December. Now, he has been summoned at a crucial time as the team needs to shore up its position in the tournament and make a very strong push towards the play-offs. His most significant contribution was giving up his preferred No. 3 batting position to younger talent Tilak Varma, who went on to smash back-to-back centuries.
