India National Cricket Team middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav played a remarkable knock with the bat in the second match of the three-match T20I series between Rohit Sharma-led India National Cricket Team and Temba Bavuma-led South Africa National Cricket Team at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, October 2.

Suryakumar Yadav, who is India’s highest-ranked T20I batter in the ICC Men’s T20I Batting rankings, came out to bat after the dismissal of KL Rahul in the 12th over.

Not since ABD has any batsman quite redefined the white ball game like @surya_14kumar : he is making a good attack look ridiculously ordinary with his audacious shot making . Even the great @imVkohli seems happy to play second fiddle. Just awesome! #INDvsSA

This inns of SKY where he has had a SR of 277.27 is his highest in any inns where he has scored more than 10 runs.

Also, him hitting 10 boundaries today is the third most he has ever hit in a T20I inns. (He hit 20 and 12 boundaries respectively against Eng & HK)
