However, search for India’s number four batsman still lingers. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yav continues to keep piling on runs in domestic circuit. Even though Mumbai Indians batsman is kcking right doors for a team India call-up, luck does t seem to be going his way as he is yet to don Indian jersey for any international format of game.
