Suryakumar Yadav is the batting sensation of the cricketing world at the moment. He is the top batter in the list of ICC T20I batting rankings. What makes him a special batter is the combination of array of shots and a superb confidence that he carries with himself, irrespective of the situation. India's second T20I of the ongoing three-match series against New Zealand in Lucknow saw a similar performance from the star player. On the statistical front, Suryakumar Yadav scored only 26 not out off 31 balls, but considering the game situation, it was nothing short than a match-defining knock. The trio of Yuzvendra Chahal , Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav impressed on a helping surface to limit a self-destructing New Zealand to 99 for eight, their lowest total against India in the shortest format. It should have been a straight-forward run chase but the top-order comprising Ishan Kishan (19 off 32), Shubman Gill (11 off 9) and Rahul Tripathi (13 off 18) had a tough … [Read more...] about Suryakumar Yadav Indirectly Credits MS Dhoni For “Calm Attitude” On Challenging Tracks.

After a crushing loss in the first T20I against New Zealand, India edged past the Mitchell Santner -led visitors in the second T20I to level the three-match series. The Hardik Pandya -led side will hope for the winning momentum to continue in the decider too, which will be in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. In both the T20Is, opener Shubman Gill failed to leave a mark, getting out for scores of 7 and 11. It is far cry from the terrific form that he displayed in the ODI format recently, where he scored a double ton and a ton against the Blackcaps.
