Suryakumar Yadav is now close to this milestone, West Indies batsman will be left behind
Surya Kumar Yadav vs South Africa: Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India is preparing for the third T20 match against South Africa. The match will be played on 13 November in Centurion. Although the series is currently tied, India will have to win the next match to take an unassailable lead. Meanwhile, Captain Suryakumar Yadav is moving towards a new position. He can soon overtake Nicholas Pooran, one of the strongest batsmen of West Indies, that too in T20 International matches.
Currently, the record of hitting most sixes in T20 International is in the name of Rohit Sharma. He has hit 205 sixes after playing 159 matches. He is the only batsman in the world who has hit more than 200 sixes, no other batsman has been able to reach this level. If we talk about Suryakumar Yadav, he has played only 76 T20 matches so far. In this he has hit 145 sixes so far. He is still far behind Rohit Sharma, but still he is close to completing 150 sixes. From here he needs only 5 more sixes so that he can reach the special milestone.
Surya can overtake Nicholas Puran
Now Rohit Sharma is ahead of Suryakumar Yadav and also Martin Guptill is at second place, who has hit 173 sixes in 122 matches. Meanwhile, West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran has hit 147 sixes in 100 T20 International matches so far. This means that before completing 150 sixes, Surya will have a chance to leave Nicholas Pooran behind. For this he needs only three more sixes.
A big innings is needed from Surya in this series.
Two matches of India vs South Africa series have taken place. There has been no major innings in this yet. In the first match of the series in Durban, he scored only 21 runs and in the second match he scored only 4 runs. He needs a big innings, which if he comes in these remaining two matches, then Team India’s victory will be confirmed and with this, Surya’s record of six will also reach a new level. It remains to be seen what kind of batting Surya does in the remaining matches.
