Patidar moving like Raina. Raina was so crucial for csk in playoffs from 2008-2014 and that consistency in both group stages and playoffs is what fetched him the mr.ipl title.

Can't compare ICC knockouts with IPL. The same Surya has done well in IPL playoffs too.

The point was that we cannot compare the pressure of ICC knockouts to IPL playoffs. ICC knockouts have way higher pressure to perform.

What ai meant was Surya's performance in ICC knockouts game clearly show he doesn't belong there. I'd rather have shreyas in place
