Suryakumar Yadav's woes with the bat in ODIs

Team India batsman Suryakumar Yadav hasn't had the best of the time in the ODI format. Yadav was served with a golden opportunity to seal his place in the Indian team in place of injured Shreyas Iyer, however, the 32-year-old failed to live up to the standards after his exploits in the T20I format. The right-handed batsman has only managed to play innings of 19 and 24 runs respectively in the ongoing series, which also added to his tally of 17 innings without a half-century in ODI cricket.
