You have to feel for @surya_14kumar and @mipaltan will be hoping his response will be to play some sizzling innings. He had to get past Shreyas Iyer or Manish Pandey given that Mayank Agarwal opens and Rahul and Samson are the keepers.

Over the past three seasons, Suryakumar has been a key member of the MI squad and has been a consistent performer. It is a little surprising and unfortunate to see the run-machine not get his due.
