“This is why Sky became No.1 T20 batsman” – Twitter reacts after Suryakumar Yadav said Rohit Sharma has been a guiding force since 2018

Suryakumar Yadav is currently holding the numero uno spot in the ICC Men’s T20I Player rankings. His journey to becoming the top batter in the shortest format of the game has been impeccable.

The right-handed batter impressed the cricket fraternity by putting on stellar performances for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League before he earned a grand call-up to the national cricket team.

Ever since he made his debut for Team India in T20Is, there was literally no stopping him because he has been consistent for the team and a nightmare to the opposing teams.

More importantly, he has won more man-of-the-match awards compared to any other player in T20Is ever since he made his debut for India in the truncated version of the game.

Meanwhile, the star batsman has reserved the highest respect and admiration for Indian captain Rohit Sharma while speaking to a news agency PTI. According to him, Rohit Sharma is an elder brother to him.

Besides that, he also revealed that Rohit Sharma has been a guiding force for him since 2018. The Indian stalwart kept backing Suryakumar Yadav for the last four years and today, Suryakumar has become a completely different player altogether.

Having represented the Indian cricket team in 16 ODIs and 42 T20Is, he scored 384 runs in the 50-over format including two half-centuries. On the other side of the coin, he has aggregated 1408 runs at an average of 44.

Notably, he has maintained a staggering strike rate of 181, which is simply mind-boggling. He has slammed as many as two centuries and twelve half-centuries to his name.

Suryakumar Yadav finished the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia as the third-leading run-scorer with 239 runs. Overall, he has struck as many as three half-centuries to his name in the showpiece event.
