Virat Kohli’s record destroyed
In his 105th T20 International match, Suryakumar Yadav won the 17th Player of the Match award of his career. With this, he has left behind the great batsman Virat Kohli, who has 16 PoTM awards in his name in 125 matches. Talking about the world level, Surya is now behind only Virdeep Singh (22) of Malaysia and Sikandar Raza (19) of Zimbabwe. This was Surya’s fourth PoTM award in T20 World Cup history, the second highest tally by any Indian after Kohli. Kohli has won the title of Player of the Match 8 times in the T20 World Cup.
Surya slapped hard on the talk of bad form
For the last few months, Suryakumar was facing criticism regarding his rhythm, but he always repeated the same thing that ‘I am concerned only with runs, not with form.’ His words proved to be true with the beginning of the T20 World Cup. Surya, who scored three half-centuries in the recent series against New Zealand, has now scored a total of four half-centuries in his last five T20 innings. His captaincy innings played in times of crisis proved why he is considered the most dangerous batsman in this format.
Team India’s journey from the score of 77/6 to victory
India had a very bad start in this Group A match played in Mumbai on Saturday. The American bowlers had devastated the Indian top and middle order and at one time the team’s score was 6 wickets for 77 runs. From here, Surya took over at one end and played a classic innings of 84 not out, taking India to a challenging score of 161/9. In the end, the Indian bowlers did their job well and started the World Cup with a win by stopping America 29 runs short of the target.
