Suryakumar Yadav is the first player who can replace KL Rahul in ICC World Test Championship final. Yadav is also a middle-order batsman like Rahul. He made his Test debut in the previous IND vs AUS Test series, scoring 8 runs in the only innings he batted.

He was picked as a replacement for Shreyas Iyer, who had missed the 1st Test due to injury. In IPL 2023 too, Yadav has showcased some marvellous batting knocks for his team Mumbai Indians.
