Mumbai chief selector Sanjay Patil wants India players Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube to emulate star cricketers Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Ravi Shastri and Sanjay Manjrekar and help Mumbai secure a big win over Haryana in the upcoming Ranji Trophy quarter-final at Kolkata.
Suryakumar, who led India to T20I series 4-1 win over England on Sunday, and all-rounder Dube, a member of India’s winning team, have been included in Mumbai’s 18-member team for the game at Eden Gardens from February 8.
“Surya and Shivam’s mere participation in this quarter-final game is not required. They should shoulder the responsibility and be a part of a big victory over our opponents. Whenever big stars like Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Vengsarkar, Shastri and Manjrekar played for Mumbai, they always helped us clinch a big victory in the Ranji Trophy. I expect these India players to carry forward that legacy,” Patil told mid-day.
