By India Today Web Desk: Bukkry.com”>New No.1 T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav said that he is determined to be a consistent match-winner for the Indian team in the future. Notably, Suryakumar jumped to the top of the ICC T20I rankings for batters with 863 points following back-to-back half-centuries in the ongoing T20 World Cup.

Suryakumar further revealed that he has never played a bowler in his name and reputation but whenever he goes inside to bat, he plays to the merit of the ball.

“To win as many games and to give as many performances for Team India whenever I get the opportunity. I have never played the name of a bowler. Whenever I go inside and bat, I play the ball. But at the same time, when I practice in the nets, I keep in mind all what shots I need to play against a particular bowler,” Suryakumar Yadav said in the ICC Review.

Suryakumar Yadav completed an incredible recent run by surpassing Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan to become only the second Indian player to hold the top T20I batter ranking on Wednesday.

Yadav’s achievement is all the more remarkable given that he did not play a T20I for India until March of last year and has since amassed one century and 11 half-centuries in 37 appearances for his country in the shortest format.

Before Wednesday, Suryakumar Yadav had also edged past Mohammad Rizwan to become the leading run-scorer in T20 Internationals this year. The Indian star (before the game against Bangladesh) had scored 935 runs from 26 matches at an average of 42.50 and a strike rate of 183.69.
