South African all-rounder Wayne Parnell labelled India's Suryakumar Yadav as one of the best T20 batters in the world ahead of the second T20I in Guwahati.

Suryakumar Yadav continued his purple patch with the bat for the Men in Blue in T20Is on Wednesday (September 28). Playing against South Africa, he slammed an unbeaten 50 off 33 balls at a blistering strike rate of 151.5 in the first T20I of the three-match series in Thiruvananthapuram. The match-winning knock included three sixes and five fours.

Having started the series on a high, Suryakumar will certainly pose a real threat to the Proteas in the next match starting tomorrow at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. 

Addressing the media on the eve of the second T20I, Parnell heaped praise on Surya and called him one of the best T20 batters going around in the world right now.

“I think personally, from what I’ve watched over the last couple of months, I think he is probably one of the best T20 betters at the moment,” Wayne Parnell said in a pre-match press conference.
