The cricket world is very impressed with this innings of Suryakumar, which came at the right time just before the T20 World Cup. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan wrote, in the last match, Suryakumar Yadav had scored a half-century and in the first 15 balls he was actually playing at a strike rate of 100 and in the end he was out after scoring 160 runs. Even today he started with responsibility. Commitment and skill.
Mohammad Kaif also praised Surya and said that he has given a big statement by thrashing Pat Cummins before the T20 World Cup. Kaif wrote on X, Surya’s match-winning century for the struggling Mumbai Indians is an introduction to his character. He has given a strong statement by facing Cummins before the World T20.
Former RCB fast bowler Wayne Parnell is also impressed with Suryakumar’s batting ability. The South African fast bowler said that a DNA test should be done to know how good Suryakumar is in the T20 format. He wrote- Has anyone ever done DNA test of Suryakumar Yadav? This boy is different, completely different.
After MI fell by three wickets for 31 runs inside the powerplay, the pair of Suryakumar and Tilak Verma (37 not out on 32 balls) together registered an unbeaten partnership of 143 runs and registered a spectacular victory with 22 balls remaining. Surya had shown glimpses of his talent earlier in the tournament by scoring three half-centuries, but he looked in control and converted his brilliant performance into an unbeaten century as he thrashed the SRH bowlers.
