In the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup held in Australia, India, who were expected to win the trophy after 15 years, disappointed as usual by exiting in the knockout round. Most of the senior players, including Rohit Sharma, were mediocre in that series, which was the main reason for the defeat. However, it was only Virat Kohli and Suryakumar in batting that the Indian team could at least qualify for the semi-final round. In the last 15 years, Virat Kohli became the highest run batsman in this world cup as he has won a lot of victories in all 3 types of cricket and contributed to the victories.
Especially after 2019, he returned to form after smashing the criticism he faced for not scoring a hundred in the recent Asia Cup. Especially in the knockout match against England, he stood as an anchor and scored 50 (40) runs to lift the collapsed India.

Who is the best batsman:
On the other hand, Suryakumar, who made his debut at the age of 30, has emerged as India’s latest star in T20 cricket and has become the world’s number one T20 batsman in a short period of time. He became the Indian batsman who scored the most runs after Virat Kohli in this series.
In this case, former Indian legends Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan have answered the question of who is the best batsman in this T20 World Cup, saying that Virat Kohli is the best then and now. However, Ashish Nehra praised Suryakumar as performing better than Virat Kohli when it comes to T20. Here is what Sevak talked about on Cricbuzz Internet: “As far as I am concerned, the best batsman in this series is Virat Kohli who scored the most runs. And New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips brilliant century against Sri Lanka was the best innings of the series,” he said.

Zaheer Khan spoke about this as follows. “This World Cup has been great for Suryakumar Yadav. Alex Hales made a big impact in the latter stages as Jos Buttler returned to form in the series. But Virat Kohli was consistently the best batsman for his team from start to finish. That innings in particular against Pakistan showed early on how he was going to play in this series. His batting average is high if he does not get out in many matches,” he said.
However Ashish Nehra mentioned that Suryakumar Yadav is the best batsman as far as he is concerned as he spoke on the same programme. “I would say the best T20 batsman is Suryakumar. I’m not saying this because he’s an Indian, I’m saying this based on how he’s been playing for the past few years.

Because it is not easy to consistently perform as well as he does at the strike rate he plays at No.4. And Glenn Phillips’ innings against Sri Lanka was the best innings of the series,” he said.
