India star batter Suryakumar Yadav’s string of fine performances in the last few series has seen him became the highest run-scorer for India in a calendar year in T20Is, which bodes well for Rohit Sharma’s team as it aims to reclaim the T20 World Cup crown it won nearly 15 years back.
During the opening T20I against South Africa at Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday, Suryakumar smashed another unbeaten half-century (50 off 33 balls) as India defeated the visitors by eight wickets with 20 balls to spare in a low-scoring game.
Chasing 107 for victory, opener KL Rahul’s 51 followed by Surya’s unbeaten 50 made the task of achieving the win a cakewalk and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Suryakumar continued his incredible run in T20Is this year, completing more than 700 runs in the format in the year, according to ICC. His tally of runs in T20Is in 2022 is a record for an Indian batter with Surya going past Shikhar Dhawan’s 689 runs in 2018 in the format.
What makes his record even more glorious is the fact that the batter has scored these runs at a strike rate of more than 180 and an average more than 40.
