Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best finds for India in the T20Is and the batter is proving it with every passing day, eventually bagging his third T20I hundred during the final T20I of the three-match series against Sri Lanka on January 7, Saturday and it came as a vital knock in a crucial situation for team India.
Although the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina stood out in the shortest format of the game, Suryakumar is fast approaching legendary stature, given his unorthodox style of play and efficiency. We decided to handpick three reasons why he could end up as the best-ever T20I batter for India.
Here are the three reasons:
3) Extreme fitness
Suryakumar is one of the fittest cricket of the current T20I setup and the batter, although made his debut late at the age of 30, could go on until his late 30s, eventually bagging more records to his name and becoming one of the greatest-ever T20I players to have ever played for the Men in Blue.
To add more, Suryakumar could play a variety of shots and it is his body dynamism that is still helping him to do the unbelievable, eventually making him stand out from all others. Given that the Indian cricket board is banking on fitness, he would be in the squad for at least 6 years from now on.
