Suryakumar Yadav has been world most feared T20 batter for quite a long time now. He has been fantastic with his innovative strokeplay and is the number 1 T20I batter in ICC rankings. In the ongoing series against the Windies, SKY was silent in the first two T20Is but not has exploded superbly in the third T20I.

He came out to bat at 3 and started off with a bang by smashing a four and six off his first two deliveries. Soon, he reached his fifty in 23 balls and on the way becomes the fastest Indian cricketer to hit 100 sixes in T20Is. He reached the landmark in just 49 innings which is way less than the second best in the list - Rohit Sharma (84 innings). He is also the third fastest batter to hit 100 T20I sixes in terms of balls. He got to the landmark in just 1007 balls while the two ahead of him are, Evin Lewis (789 balls) and Colin Munro (963 balls).

Suryakumar Yadav scored 83 off just 44 balls with four 4s and ten sixes to take India close to a much-needed win. Suryakumar Yadav's partnership with Tilak Varma was a crucial one for India as they put together 87 runs together after India lost two early wickets. Talking about this series, India lost the opening two games of the five-match T20I series and this is a do-or-die encounter for India if they want to stay alive in the series.

At the time of writing, India are 123-3 at the end of 13 overs and are looking comfortable in their bid to chase down a target of 160 set by the Windies.
