The young team led by Hardik Pandya won the trophy 2-1 in the 3-match T20I series at home against Sri Lanka and started the New Year 2023 with success. Especially in the 3rd match to decide the winner on 7th January, India batted first and scored 228/5 in 20 overs. Hope star Suryakumar Yadav scored his 3rd century with 7 fours and 9 sixes to score 112* (51).
Chasing it, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 137 runs against India’s quality bowling. Arshideep Singh took the maximum 3 wickets for India with Sanaka and Gusal Mendis scoring 23 runs each. So Suryakumar Yadav, who undoubtedly played an important role in India’s huge victory by 91 runs, was awarded the man of the match award.
New Universal Pass:
In other words, yesterday he showed performances that surpassed the man of the match award. Because from the very first ball he hit the field in his own superstar style, hitting fours and sixes at all fours, proving himself to be the number one T20 batsman in the world. More than that, fans and ex-players were left speechless after seeing the sixes that he hit over the wicketkeeper’s head and the sixes that fell and flew in the direction of behind the wicket.
He proved himself as India’s Mr. 360 degree batsman in that way and even some former players say not to compare him with Abd Villiers. But former Pakistan player Danish Kaneria has openly praised Suryakumar, who rolls unimaginable new shots from all four corners of the ground and has surpassed Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers to become the new universal pass of T20 cricket. Here’s what he talked about on his YouTube page:

“Suriyakumar, the new universal boss of the world – he is a beast. What else can I say about this guy except that a player like Suryakumar comes once in a lifetime. His innings of 112 off 51 balls today cannot be replicated by anyone. You are talking about ABT, Chris Gayle. But they both pale before Surya. He has already outdone them and brought T20 cricket to a new level. No bowler in the world can stop him if he plays like this. There was Chris Gayle and ABT before that.”
“But they’re gone. Now nobody can come close to Surya. In other words, Suryakumar left everyone behind. He is admired by Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli in particular always praises Suriya. We have seen Virat Kohli wondering how he can hit these shots when playing with him. As far as I am concerned, Suryakumar is a complete 360 degree batsman. Someone like him only comes around once in a few decades. At the same time, no one can be like Suryakumar. He is a completely different fearless cricketer.”

“The way he has carved his name in golden letters in world cricket is incredible. He hits in all directions of the ground. Maybe you throw the ball in his face and he can hit a pedal scoop shot. So the bowlers are always under pressure when he bats,” he praised. It is noteworthy that APT Villiers, who said that he is already close to the 360 batsman position, had praised Suriyakumar saying that you are going to surpass me soon.
