We would often say when things get tough, leaders rise, and that’s what Suryakumar Yadav did following India’s batting collapse. The situation was shambolic that India were staring at an embarrassment at 77/6, before the skipper stepped up for the side when he was needed the most. Suryakumar was a lone warrior who launched a fearless and calculated counterattack, helping India reach a competitive total on the board.
The flamboyant batter played a brilliant captain’s knock of 84 off 49 balls, including 10 fours and 4 sixes, at an impressive strike rate of 171.43. In the final six overs, Suryakumar smashed 75 runs almost single-handedly, completely shifting the momentum in India’s favour. In fact, Suryakumar Yadav accounted for nearly 53% of India’s 161-run total, underlining how heavily India’s innings revolved around his lone and match-defining effort.
