Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the biggest stars in the Indian dugout, many a times, the middle order batter has single-handedly saved the team with his brilliant batting performances. 

The glorious performer jumped to Number 1 in the ICC rankings of T20I batsmen, he also became only the second player after Mohammad Rizwan to cross 1000 runs in this calendar year. 

Former Australian cricketer and legend Shane Watson commented that he is in awe of the batter ahead of India's semi-final against England. 

Shane Watson commented on SKY

“It really is a treat to be able to watch SKY bat over the last two years watching him in the IPL and performing as well as he has."

“But then to be able to turn it on like he has in international cricket as well is something to behold. What he's able to do in these foreign conditions in Australia alone is something that not many people have ever been able to do in T20 cricket."

“It's a really rare talent where his ability to really read a bowler, where he's going to bowl and where the fielders are, and his control over where the ball goes, it’s a very rare talent. We haven't really seen it much before.”

India is all set to face England in the semi-finals of the tournament on 10th November at 1:30 PM. England is coming off a great tournament and will look to continue their good run.
