Dare we say… Suryakumar Yadav is the next de Villiers; Ravi Shastri Open Doc
Ravi Shastri has praised Suryakumar Yadav as a player who can create havoc for the opposition like ABD Villiers.
Suryakumar Yadav, who made it to the Indian team after many years of struggle, quickly secured his place in the Indian team with his intimidating batting.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has contributed immensely to the Indian team in every match, has become the No. 1 player in the T20 rankings within a year.
Suryakumar Yadav, who was the main reason for the Indian team to qualify for the semi-finals in the ongoing T20 World Cup cricket series, has surprised everyone by showing a very good performance in the current series against the New Zealand team.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has been consistently performing well in batting, is admired by the entire cricket world.
In that way, Ravi Shastri, the former coach of the Indian team, who has openly spoken about his opinion about the Indian players, praised Suryakumar Yadav as performing well like AB Villiers.
Speaking about this, Ravi Shastri said, “Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best players in the world. Suryakumar Yadav is a player who knows the state of the competition and can cause disaster for the opponent. If he alone plays 30 to 40 balls, he will definitely win the team. Because Suryakumar Yadav has so many runs coming out of his bat, his batting is so amazing that the opposition bowlers are unpredictable.
He is batting almost like Abd Villiers, Suryakumar Yadav’s batting is similar to how Abd Villiers has played some great innings, Suryakumar Yadav’s average and runs scored look like he is bound in that innings. If Surya Kumar Yadav crosses 15-20 runs, we will definitely see a great performance like we have seen before,” said Ravi Shastri in praise of Surya Kumar Yadav.
Suryakumar Yadav, who started playing his first international match for the Indian team in 2021, has so far participated in 41 T20 matches and scored 1395 runs. It is also worth noting that he has topped the ICC list of the best batsman for the T20 series.
