Suryakumar Yadav: The Indian team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka and a three-match T20 series is being played between the two teams. Young players have been given a chance in this series and captain Suryakumar Yadav has named the player who can become the next Virat Kohli of Team India.

Actually, Virat is the X factor for Team India and he has single-handedly led India to victory in many matches. In such a situation, Surya sees the future Kohli in Shubman Gill or Yashasvi Jaiswal or rather in another player.
