Fans on Twitter heaped rich praise on Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav for his stellar knock in the T20 World Cup 2022 clash against South Africa. They hailed him for stepping up in tough circumstances and playing a crucial knock for his side.
Suryakumar Yadav smashes 68 runs in 39 balls under pressure against South Africa
India is clashing with South Africa in Perth. Their decision to bat first hasn’t quite worked in their favour as the fiery bowling attack of Proteas made Indian batters look clueless and left them tottering at 49/5.
But as they say, there’s always a light at the end of the big tunnel and in the match’s regard, it was Suryakumar Yadav for India. The right-hander displayed a magnificent performance with a bat and continued his sublime form.
While wickets kept tumbling at one end, he counter-attacked South African pacers and smashed them all over the park. He looked unfazed at what happened on the other hand and kept moving the scorecard. In the process, he reached his second consecutive half-century and kept the run rate going.
Despite the wickets falling at the other end, he batted with a strike rate of over 175 runs and made sure that his team has something to fight with. Suryakumar scored unbeaten 68 runs in 39 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes.
Fans on Twitter react as Suryakumar Yadav produces another sensational innings

Loved Suryakumar Yadav’s alpha mentality. Team was down and out, pacers spitting fire but he charged Nortje, took on Ngidi, hit the spinners out and backed his game plan. T20 cricket rewards fearless cricketers who back their abilities and SKY was at his majestic best today.
