Star India batter, Suryakumar Yadav's brilliance in the shortest format of cricket shone through as he clinched a record-equaling fourth century during the third T20I against South Africa on December 14. Leading India as captain, he delivered a spectacular innings, amassing 100 runs off 56 balls, steering the team to an imposing total of 201/7 in Johannesburg. The innings featured seven fours and eight sixes, showcasing Suryakumar's exceptional shot-making prowess.
Former Indian pace maestro Zaheer Khan commended Suryakumar, shedding light on the formidable challenges bowlers encounter against the Mumbai batsman.
Here's What He Said:
“He is building a reputation for himself and there is no doubt about that. He has got shot-making ability all across the ground and that makes it very difficult for bowlers. When you are able to hit one side of the pitch, then as a bowler you always have a chance in this format with the field restrictions."
“But when you have a batter like Surya, who can hit the ball to long on, midwicket, hit sixes over covers and uses the pace by opening the face of the bat nicely, it’s tough for bowlers. He picks his fielders, picks his spots and once he is on song and that kind of a zone, it’s never going to be easy for bowlers to execute their plans.”
Zaheer underscored Suryakumar's ability to play shots in every direction, making it an arduous task for bowlers to formulate effective strategies.
According to Zaheer, Suryakumar's capability to dispatch the ball to various areas of the field, combined with strategic placement and adept use of pace, places bowlers in a precarious position. Zaheer concluded that once Suryakumar hits his stride, executing bowling plans against him becomes a daunting challenge for any opposition.
