A half century off just 32 balls for Suryakumar Yadav against Australia, he could be having a massive tournament. Extraordinary player, always loved watching him for Mumbai Indians and thought he was brought into the team a couple of seasons late 🔥 #T20WorldCup

These Days T20i Cricket feels incomplete without a contribution from Suryakumar Yadav
— TheCricketShaala (@cricketshaala) October 17, 2022
Suryakumar Yadav batting at the death is good news for India. SKY has the best T20I strike-rate at the death (min. 50 balls faced) 254.38. He is followed by Australia's Tim David, who strikes at 223.07 #T20WorldCup

I don't know about others, But I feel that SuryaKumar Yadav is perfect fit at no.4 for India.
The way he plays & handles the situation, No doubt he is one of the best in the middle order.
So after Yuvraj and Raina era, Is it #SuryakumarYadav's turn?#INDvsAUS #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/YPjmcQDvn1
