The upcoming limited overs series against Sri Lanka will give a lot of fringe players an opportunity to stake their claim for a place in the squad for the T20 World Cup, slated to be held in UAE and Oman. Mumbai cricketer Suryakumar Yadav, who made an immediate impact after making his India debut against England, will be a player to watch out for in the series. Former India batsman and renowned cricket pundit Sanjay Manjrekar is of the opinion that Suryakumar Yadav could fit the number 3 role for India in the T20 World Cup, given his attacking style of batting. "I don't know what plan they have with (KL) Rahul, there certainly is a place for someone like Suryakumar Yadav. "And makes him an ideal number three, he can hit good balls for fours, certainly one of the options," Manjrekar added.
