Second best is Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan who has scored 996 runs in 26 matches. But more than run scores, what makes SKy unique is the pace at which he earns them.
Suryakumar’s batting average over the last 12 months is 184, which puts him at the top regularly. Additionally, the Indian right-hander has hit his most 4s (121) and 6s (82) in his T20I in the last 12 months. Other than that, he has the most of his 100 points (3) and his over 50 points (13) in this period. The Mumbai cricketers were in a similar mood during the first T20I vs New Zealand match at lunch.
After taking some time to assess the conditions in favor of the spinners, SKY started driving the ball into all parts of the ground. He was approaching another half-century when his shot went wide in the field next to Ish Sodhi’s bowling.
A wicket for SKY was ultimately the turning point for him in the game, and New Zealand won by his 21 runs on Friday to give him a 1u20130 lead in a three-game series.
New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham has spoken out about how great Suriyakumar’s bat is, saying the Indian is his T20I hitter the best in the world. He’s currently the best T20 racquet in the world head and shoulders, he told Star Sports.
Neesham, who was part of Team His Suryakumar, defeated his T20I 100 for the second time at Mount Hein Maunganui after his T20 World Championship last year and shared an interesting story. According to Niesham, one of his top-ranked fast bowlers in the world, Trent Vault, was in Mumbai with his Indians net when the three were in the same team before the season in his IPL. He praised SKY for being the best player he had ever bowled.
I look back two years ago when I attended an Indian camp in Mumbai. After the first practice, Trent Boult turned to me and said, ‘Look at this guy. He’s the best hitter I’ve ever seen. It is a big statement to comment on the team that includes Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard.
He grew stronger and stronger. His innings at Mount Maunganui were truly outstanding. Best power hit I’ve ever seen. He’s a 360 player. No matter what you plan to do, it’s the other way around. He reminds me of AB de Villiers in his prime, said Neesham.
