Suryakumar Yadav is one of the most dynamic elements in the Indian cricket team and as the Men in Blue eye the coveted prize Down Under after a staggering wait of 15 years, he is going to be one of the biggest hopes for the Men in Blue.
He is in the midst of some crazy form that saw him dominating England on the latter’s turf, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, and a flurry of Asian teams en route to his hallowed path to the distant shores Down Under. As we pray with clasped hands for the big man to fire in the showpiece event, here are three things that Suryakumar Yadav can pull off in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
#1 Smoke a crazy number of runs in the middle-order
India’s new approach of go hard in the shortest format of the game needs at least a couple of players to up the ante in the middle. They have a fine opening pair in Rahul and Rohit while Virat would probably be taking some time to settle himself in. Surya is someone who can come in for a good odd 20 balls and he would pile up 40-50 odd runs that totally changes the complexion of the game. In case if you still don’t believe in the Mumbai Indians batter, the final T20I against Australia was a burning example of the kind of domination that Surya is capable of conjuring.
#2 Lead the batting by example
It is very important that India needs someone who can lead the middle-order batting from the front. Kohli is definitely an illustrious customer for this hefty job but at the end of the day, Surya is someone who adapts himself perfectly to the need of the innings. He can fire on all guns blazing and at the same time can be an anchor who motors the innings perfectly as per the requirement of the situation. He can take the pressure on himself so that the one at the other end feels comfortable. This is exactly why he is a leader in the middle.
#3 He can be Suryakumar Yadav
Well leave all the calculations apart, leave all possible changes in a side apart, just focus on the fact that you are Suryakumar Yadav. 360 degree batting, relentless urge to belt those bowlers and more importantly, keep a level head while pulling off all the antiques. You won’t simply have a better batter in your side than him. Believe in the Suryakumar Yadav supremacy and the world would be a much better place.
