VIDEO: Suryakumar Yadav’s Trademark Six Surprised Jayden Seales: Suryakumar Yadav’s remarkable journey in international cricket continued on July 27, 2023, as he showcased his prowess during the first ODI match against West Indies at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Batting at No. 3, Yadav’s short but impactful stint at the crease was a sight to behold.
Despite his brisk innings, it was a crucial one in the larger context of the match. With a competitive total on the board being the aim, Yadav scored a crucial 19 runs off just 25 balls. Showcasing his trademark aggression, he belted 3 fours and 1 six, a feat that truly energized the Indian innings.
Unfortunately, his promising innings came to an abrupt end. Gudakesh Motie, the West Indian spinner, was the one who brought about Yadav’s downfall. However, his 19-run contribution was notable for the momentum it gave to the team.
Among the many shots he played, his six off Jayden Seales, a young, pace bowler, stood out. The second ball of the 8th over was delivered at a good length outside off-stump. Yadav, being in sublime form, promptly responded with a stellar ‘supla shot’, which went sailing over the boundary for a six.
Seales, the bowler at the receiving end of Yadav’s audacious shot, was left utterly bemused. His reaction to Yadav’s six was nothing short of priceless, a moment that will surely be etched in the memories of cricket fans.
