    Souryakumar has no place in ODI team: Indian chief selector

    Indian cricket team chief selector Ajit Agarkar has clarified that India’s T20 captain, Suryakumar Yadav, is unsuitable for the ODI side.

    Former Indian pacer, in a press conference before India’s departure to Sri Lanka, said, “The fact is that Suryauumar’s name has not been discussed for the ODI squad as the team management is satisfied with Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Rishabh Bachchan in the middle order. We didn’t think about Suriya’s inclusion in the ODI squad then; Shreyas and KL Rahul are back; they did well in the ODI World Cup.”

    Ajit said, “Rishabh Pant is also in good form, so our middle order is quality; Surya is only a T20 player now.”

    India has appointed aggressive batsman Suryakumar Yadav as the new T20 captain instead of Rohit Sharma while ignoring Hardik Pandya.

    Suryakumar has played 37 ODIs for India, scoring 773 runs at an average of 25.76.

    Bollywood actress Jasmine Bhasin recently suffered an eye injury that has left her in significant pain.

    Talking about the incident, Jasmine Bhasin told ETimes, “I don’t know what was wrong with my lenses, but after I put them on, my eyes began to hurt, and the pain gradually worsened. I wanted to see a doctor immediately, but because I had a work commitment, I decided to attend the event first and then visit the doctor.”
    “I wore sunglasses at the event, and the team helped me manage things because, after a point, I couldn’t see anything.” Bhasin added.

    “It’s not easy because I can’t see, and I am struggling to even sleep due to the pain. Fortunately, I didn’t have to postpone any of my work. I hope to recover and get back to work in a few days.”
    Corneal injuries can result from a variety of sources. Some of the common reasons are abrasions, chemical injuries, problems with contact lenses, and ultraviolet injuries.

    The film will release in September this year. Bhasin also made her Punjabi film debut with Gippy in the comedy film ‘Honeymoon’ in 2022.
