After losing the first match of the T20I series against Australia at home but winning the subsequent matches and winning the trophy with the score of 2 – 1 (3), India will next play against South Africa in the 3-match T20I series. India retaliated by winning the 2nd match after being bowled out for 209 runs in the first match of the T20 series against Australia. So in the 3rd match to decide the winner of the tied series, Rahul and Rohit were disappointed to get out by a meager number of runs while chasing the target of 187 runs set by Australia.
So Suryakumar Yadav, who made a partnership of 104 runs with Virat Kohli who came in next to India who stumbled to 30/2, hit 69 (36) runs with 5 fours and 5 sixes to win the man of the match award. After a tough fight, he made his debut for India at the age of 30 and emerged as India’s latest match-winner and star of hope, winning six more Man of the Match awards than any other Indian player in the last one-and-a-half years.

Virat – Surpasses Babar too:
He has the ability to spin in all four corners of the field without fearing whatever the situation of the match is, he starts the action batting from the beginning in most of the matches and accumulates runs without letting the opposing bowlers settle at an intimidating strike rate. That is why fans and some ex-players praise him as “India’s ABT” and he has gradually progressed in the ICC batting rankings and is the No. 2 batsman in the world with the hunger to win the World Cup for India.
In this case, former Pakistan player Danish Kaneria has openly praised that Suryakumar Yadav is amazing enough to surpass Virat Kohli and Babar Asamai in T20 cricket batting. Here’s what he talked about on his YouTube page: “I have been saying for months that Suryakumar Yadav is the best. Moreover, the sky is the limit for his ability to bat in 360 degrees. The way he bats is like announcing that I am playing. He was outstanding in the 3rd T20 against Australia”

“He plays differently than others and has a definite chance to become a big player. His style of batting is so captivating that fans forget the game of other best batsmen in the world. Virat Kohli can score a lot of runs here and Babar Azam can be successful. But Suryakumar Yadav is going to push them all back,” he said. Australian coach Andrew MacDonald recently praised Suryakumar Yadav as a danger to the opposition in the World Cup held in Australia.
Earlier, when the series started, it was expected that Indian star Virat Kohli would be stumped by Australian spinner Adam Zampa. Despite stumbling in the 2nd match, Virat Kohli dominated the remaining 2 matches and scored big runs. Danish Canaria further spoke about it as follows. ” A lot of people talked to Adam Zamba that Virat Kohli would be included as a petti-snake. But Virat Kohli faced him brilliantly.”
“Also, Virat-Suriyakumar brought India back to victory after Rohit and Rahul got out early. And Virat Kohli gave important advice to Suryakumar Yadav. In that sense there is a good understanding between them. The Australian bowlers could not answer against those two. If they bat like this, India is likely to defeat all teams in the World Cup,” he said.
