Suryakumar Yadav reveals the conversation with Sachin Tendulkar after being overlooked for Australia tour

Suryakumar Yadav has been the talk of the town ever since India’s squad for Australia tour has been announced. Despite performing consistently in domestic cricket and in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the selectors have ignored him. After scoring 512 and 424 runs in 2018 and 2019 IPL season, Surya smashed 480 runs in the recently concluded edition as well.

Understandably, he was disappointed after being snubbed for the umpteenth time. This is when the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar came up with a motivating message for Suryakumar Yadav and advised him to be sincere with the game for the results to follow.

He also suggested the 30-year-old that this could just be his final hurdle to make it to the national side and urged to continue working hard in his quest to don the India jersey. “If you are honest and sincere to the game, the game will look after you. This might well be your final hurdle. Your dream of playing for India is around the corner. Stay focused and surrender yourself to cricket.

“I know you are not one of those who will be disheartened and give it up. Keep going on and give us many more reasons to celebrate,” Suryakumar Yadav said revealing the message according to Indian Express.

Suryakumar Yadav convinced after Sachin Tendulkar’s message

Suryakumar Yadav is also convinced now with the man himself telling him to stay calm and collective during this period. Surya is now determined more than ever and seems ready to give it his all to represent India one day. “He (Tendulkar) made me understand in one single message that this is how it should be. I have been fair to cricket, cricket will be fair to me someday.

“The man, who for 24 years gave reason to the world to celebrate because of his cricket, and has endured several ups and downs in his career, has sent me this lovely message. I don’t think I need to say anything further,” he further added.
