Suryakumar Yadav had been knocking on the doors of the selectors for a long time as he shined in the Indian T20 League one season after the other. ‘SKY’, as he’s lovingly called by his fans, has grabbed every opportunity he’s got at the international level with both hands. The batter took the cricketing fraternity by storm when he announced his arrival in international cricket in grand fashion as he hooked a speedy bouncer by Jofra Archer for a humungous six.
In his 17 T20 innings so far, the right-handed batter has scored 537 runs at an average of 38.36 and a magnificent strike rate of 177 with 4 fifties and 1 century to his name. The batter recently left the fans awestruck with his stupendous strokeplay as he plundered 117 runs off just 55 balls, smashing 14 fours and six gigantic sixes in the third T20I against England.
