Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has lauded Indian team skipper Suryakumar Yadav for his strategic decision-making power during India's inconsequential group match against Oman.

With a spot in the Super Four already secured, Yadav altered the batting lineup to give lower-order players more exposure, even batting last himself.
