India's preparations for the 2023 World Cup are in full swing, with the Men in Blue set to face England in their first warm-up match on Saturday (September 30). The match holds significant importance as several key players, who missed the third ODI against Australia, are returning to the squad. India is expected to field their strongest lineup in both warm-up matches. These warm-up games offer a crucial opportunity to define the roles of players in the upcoming ICC event. Despite Suryakumar Yadav's stellar performance, scoring an impressive 72 off 37 balls in the 2nd ODI against Australia, Virender Sehwag has chosen not to include him in his preferred playing XI. In an interview with Cricbuzz, the former Indian opener expressed his viewpoint that Suryakumar is yet to make a significant impact in ODI cricket. He stated that Shreyas Iyer will take the crucial number 4 position. “Suryakumar hasn’t done anything big yet in ODI cricket. He only bats in those final 15-20 overs where
