Surya Kumar Yadav vs South Africa: Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India is preparing for the third T20 match against South Africa. The match will be played on November 13 at Centurion. Although the series is currently tied, India will have to win the next match to take an unassailable lead. Meanwhile, captain Suryakumar Yadav is heading towards a new milestone. He may soon overtake one of West Indies’ strongest batsmen, Nicholas Pooran, that too in T20 Internationals.
Rohit Sharma currently holds the record for most sixes in T20 Internationals. He has played 159 matches and hit 205 sixes. He is the only batsman in the world to hit more than 200 sixes, no other batsman has achieved this feat. If we talk about Suryakumar Yadav, he has played only 76 T20 matches so far. In this he has hit 145 sixes so far. He is still far behind Rohit Sharma, but still close to completing 150 sixes. From here he needs only 5 more sixes to reach the special milestone.
Surya may overtake Nicholas Pooran
Now Rohit Sharma is ahead of Suryakumar Yadav and Martin Guptill is also second, having hit 173 sixes in 122 matches. While West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran has so far hit 147 sixes in 100 T20 International matches. This means that Surya will have a chance to overtake Nicholas Pooran before completing 150 sixes. For this he needs only three more sixes.
A big innings is needed from Surya in this series.
Two matches have been played between India and South Africa. No big innings in this yet. He scored only 21 runs in the first match of the series in Durban and only 4 runs in the second match. He needs a big innings, which if it comes in these remaining two matches, Team India’s victory will be assured and Surya’s six-run record will also reach a new level. It remains to be seen how Surya bats in the remaining matches.
