“Surya was magnificent to watch,” said skipper Rohit Sharma of the stunning 55-ball 117 by his Mumbai Indians' colleague in the third T20I against England in ...

He stays deep in his crease and uses the pace of the ball to hoick or flick it behind square. Suryakumar has so far shown he has the skills and temperament for that. And more importantly, he can do them without having to get his eye in or a measure of the pitch, conditions and bowling attack. Like fellow Mumbaikar Rohit, he seems to have that extra second to decide the shot he wants to play. The extraordinary quality about Suryakumar is his ability to play shots all around the ground — against express fast, medium pace and spin. “Surya was magnificent to watch,” said skipper Rohit Sharma of the stunning 55-ball 117 by his Mumbai Indians’ colleague in the third T20I against England in Birmingham on Sunday. “I have been watching him for a while now.

Suryakumar Yadav admits not getting India home will 'keep on ... (Hindustan Times)

Suryakumar Yadav, who scored his maiden international century for India, admitted during a post-match interview that in his mind, he made a calculation ...

Suryakumar mentioned that had he been able to knock the remaining three balls of Ali's over for runs, things could have been different and instead of India, England would have been under pressure to defend runs in the final over. Had I scored 10 runs in the last 2 balls, the pressure in the last over would have been on the other team. Suryakumar admitted during a post-match interview that in his mind, he made a calculation error and is disappointed with it.

Among the many excellent shots Suryakumar played during the knock, an inside-out lofted shot over backward point for a six became the cynosure of all eyes. Suryakumar scored 117 runs off 55 balls on Sunday. His innings was laced with 14 fours and six sixes as the batter toyed with the England bowlers to score boundaries at will. Suryakumar Yadav's maiden international century on Sunday went in vain as India lost the third and final T20I against England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

Decoding the stats of Suryakumar Yadav in international cricket (NewsBytes)

He has a staggering strike rate of 204.39 away from home (T20Is in 2022). SKY is also the third Indian to score a century versus England in T20Is after Rohit and Rahul. He has one century and four fifties in T20Is now. Notably, Surya has slammed over 300 runs in each of the last five Indian Premier League (IPL) seasons. He broke the record of Australia's Glenn Maxwell, who slammed 113* against India in 2019 (Bengaluru). Yadav made his international debut in March 2021 against England (2nd T20I). However, he did not bat in the match. Nevertheless, SKY became just the fifth Indian to score a century in the shortest format.

Suryakumar Yadav Sprinkles Magic With His Nimble Wrist For His ... (Man's World India)

Suryakumar Yadav scored 117 off 55 deliveries against England at Trent Bridge but India still lost the game.

When Suryakumar Yadav holed out to Phillip Salt in the penultimate over, the writing was on the wall. Suryakumar Yadav just shuffled a little, kneeled down, and just used his wrist at the last moment to send the ball flying over deep point. Had Suryakumar Yadav got a little support from the others, the result would have been a 3-0 clean sweep. Although his century couldn’t avert a defeat for India, it was one of the best T20I innings from an Indian batter, oozing with intent and class. A bulk of his 117 runs came from the region between square leg to deep point. These things largely depend on the context of the game and the skillset of the player.

'SKY Has No Limit' Suryakumar's Superlative Hundred Has Busted ... (MensXP.com)

England vs India, 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav scored a terrific hundred against England and proved that T20 cricket is not only about players with big ...

The biggest highlight of his SKY’s knock was the manner in which he used his wrists. Instead, he navigated the gaps making brilliant use of his wrists, which left the bowlers scratching their heads. How on earth do you describe these shots (yes I'm struggling)? Extraordinary stuff. All he needs is a brilliant understanding of the game. The 31-year-old batter came into bat in a tricky situation but he showed great maturity and forged a century partnership with Shreyas Iyer for the fourth wicket. Sky's the limit(less).— Melinda Farrell (@melindafarrell) #ENGvIND July 10, 2022 T20 cricket is often regarded as the game of power hitters. Remember the name….SKY!— Gautam Gambhir (@GautamGambhir) July 10, 2022 A Mike Hussey story— Daniel Brettig (@danbrettig) July 10, 2022 Wow— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) @surya_14kumar. One of the best I have seen July 10, 2022 Instead of taking undue risks, the right-handed batter made brilliant use of his wrists and put the ball in the gaps. It is much more than that.
