[VIDEO] Suryakumar Yadav performance watch

Scoring ducks or tuk tuking help the team?

There performances indeed helped the team to reach back to India quickly at the world cup and Asia cup.

Don't take Dubai tournaments too seriously. They were decided by a coin toss most of the time. Their fielding/bowling let them down. It's like saying babar helped Pakistan reach back to Pakistan quickly in the last ODI world cup!
 
Till he performs in WT20 against top 5 its all really meaningless ...(not saying he has to win it) all the hype.. he gives more hope than Rahul though

Law of averages can catch him at the wrong time. He is still an outrageous T20 batsman. ABDV's performance in world T20 is mixed. averaging 24 in 24 innings against top 8 sides. Just 3 fifties. That won't make him a hyped up batsman.

Have been saying this. Till he performs in WT20, all this is hoopla about 360 & all is bit meaningless.
 
Hilarious how this forum whilst portraying saying Kohli hasn't won any international trophy are using the ASIA Cup against Surya as he doesn't perform in big tournaments.

Suddenly reaching the finals of the Asia Cup is a big achievement, embarrassing clowns here.
 
Imagine if he is better than Babar and Rizwan how much better than his fellow Indian batsman he is.
Rohit, Kohli, KL Rahul Pants are playing like Loosers for some time now.

You should not bring Rohit and Kohli into the mix. They are way past their prime and it dosen't make any sense to compare them with peak Babar/Rizwan.

Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra outbowled Wasim/Waqar in 2003 world cup. That don't make them better bowlers as Ws were passed their prime by then.

Even beyond their prime

They do their roles better than Babar and Rizwan.

No question of prime or not prime here.
Babar is twice the T20 player Sharma has ever been.

How man? no Jazbaati answers please. How is he twice the T20 player than Rohit has ever been?

Before calling others clowns may be you should check the tournaments Sky has played in so far so that you don't look like an even bigger clown here.

In my opinion he is the only exciting player in this Indian lineup in T20 WC. :inti

In the recent Ind vs Aus and Ind vs SA series.....5/6 games were won by teams winning the toss and chasing.

I didn't see any toss merchants like you moaning then.....or does toss become a factor only when Pakistan win/India lose.

Toss excuse is used only when India lose. I said the same thing during those series as well. :inti

Both India and South Africa defended totals in the last two games so i don't know where you pulled that "5/6" stat from.

In T20s, chasing team always has a 60-40 advantage but Dubai makes it 80-20 due to the disparity in the way ball comes on to the bat between 6:30 PM and then 8:30 PM. You've either got to be a minnow or play at that level (like pak did in the final) to not make a use of that.

Okay, it's 4/6.

I agree with your point that teams chasing always have an advantage(60/40) in T20s, such is the nature of the game.

But, singling out Dubai and using toss as an excuse for your poor performances in last WC and Asia Cup is pretty lame esp for a top team like India.

Here are the stats in Dubai for all T20Is since 2009,

I have only counted the games among top teams,

Total matches: 43, Won by team batting 1st: 17, Won by team batting 2nd: 26

So its 60% in favour of the chasing side, which is the norm anywhere in the world and nowhere close to "80-20" as claimed by you and others here.

Also, Virat Kohli himself said it in the post-match PC that there isn't much change in batting conditions in the 2nd half of game and there was no dew.....so from where did you pull this out "Dubai makes it 80-20 due to the disparity in the way ball comes on to the bat between 6:30 PM and then 8:30 PM".

Just accept it that you played poorly similar to what Pakistan did in both those games vs SL rather than hiding behind the toss.
 
Though I don't rate Suryakumar that highly but people who are saying he is a failure in world events don't have any leg to stand. In last WT20 he played in only 3 games and remained not out in 2 off them (albeit against minnows). In that Pakistan game, he was looking good before getting out. Also hit a six to a rampaging Afridi.

Not sure if 3 innings is enough to classify a player being failure in world events. This WT20 will be a big test for him
 
^^

Don't want to derail this thread about SKY. This toss matter has already been discussed to death. Let's agree to disagree.

Recent Asia cup was nothing to do with toss.. most of the game loss to due to poor bowling and fielding..

As I said he doesn't have to win it.. Rohit's performance in WC 2019 and Kohli's in T20 2014 and 2016 were remarkable and yet we didn't win, my point is that.

Law of averages will catch up in one game but if it catches up in the entire tournament that's not really great then.
 
No question of prime or not prime here.
Babar is twice the T20 player Sharma has ever been.

Lol on what basis did you come up with this? Could you please layout your reasoning? Is Kohli twice the player anyone in T20 according to you?

Agreed....his sample size is too small to make any judgement.

Based on his current form, he should dominate this upcoming WC
 
<b>"He Can Be India's Version Of AB De Villiers": Dale Steyn Heaps Huge Praise On India Star</b>

<I>Suryakumar Yadav has been backed by Dale Steyn to be Team India's very own AB de Villiers. Suryak's 360-degree ability has earned him much success and plenty of plaudits from the cricketing world.</I>

One of the greatest batters in the white-ball format, AB de Villiers has mesmerised the world with his unique batting for years.

Nicknamed Mr. 360 for his ability to hit the ball all around the park, De Villiers' style is truly one of its kind.

But, the cricketing world seems to be getting another 'Mr. 360' in the form of Suyakumar Yadav.

Over the last year or so, Surya has developed a reputation for himself as De Villiers' true heir, although not in the South African team.

Even legendary Proteas speedster Dale Steyn feels Suryakumar can be Team India's AB de Villiers.

Following a hattrick of half-centuries in the bilateral home series against Australia, Suryakumar continued his red-hot form Down Under as he slammed a 35-ball 53 in India's 13-run win over Western Australia in a practice match on Monday.

“He reminds me of AB de Villiers. He could be India's version of AB de Villiers and with the red-hot form that he's in right now, he's a player to definitely watch out for this World Cup," Steyn said on Star Sports show ‘Cricket Live'.

Steyn went on to explain how the Australian conditions would be just perfect for the Indian No. 4 to hit top-gear.

The Rohit Sharma-led side will face Australia on October 17 at the Gabba in the official warm-up game before taking on Pakistan in their tournament opener on October 23.

“He likes the pace of the ball. He likes to get in behind the square. In places like Perth, Melbourne, all of these grounds, there is a little bit of extra pace on it.

"So, you can use the pace, you can hit on fine leg, behind and all along the carpet. And he's also really good when standing still and getting off the back foot.

“He has played some amazing back-foot drives and some beautiful cover drives off the front foot too. So, he's an all-round player, and it's in Australia, where the wickets are so good, they are batter friendly.

"You can also get away when a bowler tries to bowl full, you can place the ball left and you can use the pace of the ball really well, given some room," he added.

While India’s first choice white ball players are in Australia, Team India under Shikhar Dhawan outclassed South Africa 2-1 in the one-day series that concluded in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Shreyas Iyer, who was named vice-captain in the series, continued his dream run in the ODIs as he amassed 191 runs from three innings to top the charts.

Steyn said “It’s just little things you can do to improve your game, but the way he's batting at the moment, I don't think he has to change much.

"He looks in phenomenal form. He's seeing the ball like it's a beach ball and for him in India, that's continued a long way,” Steyn added.

50 off 33 for SKY in the warmup against Australia. Had trouble hitting in the death overs and these are big grounds
 
Turning out to be what Gambhir calls "not strong enough mentally to win major tournaments"
 
One word: overrated.

Makes me laugh that he was seriously being compared to de Villiers. I guess some people forget that de Villiers didn't just show up against minnows.

I know. And it was a moronic take because ABdv is literally a once-in-a-generation player. There will probably never be another player like him even if there is a cheap imitation. And Suryakumar isn't even a cheap imitation. I've seen him bat all throughout this tournament. He seems to have the intellectual capability of a chimpanzee. Because his philosophy while batting seems to be, if its in my zone I will hit it regardless of the match-situation, field setting or merit of the ball.

That is just about the dumbest way I've seen anyone bat. I'm sure he will keep hitting half-centuries in between. After all, somedays the bowling is just too incompetent and the pitches are too easy. But he also will fail. Alot. Ponting should go and take a good hard look in the mirror after making this idiotic comparison. He has only damaged his own credibility as an analyst.

Genius.
 

Since you oftentimes have trouble comprehending basic English, here's what I wrote on October 5 in reply to Ab Fan:

I've seen him bat a few times recently and I have to say my opinion on him has changed. Perhaps primarily because a batter like him is exactly what Pakistan is missing. Despite his history of going missing in numerous big matches, his numbers at No.4 are undoubtedly astonishing and unmatched by any other batter in the world. And I wouldn't be surprised if he does deliver big for India at the World Cup.

Suryakumar Yadav's stats in World Cup

Mat - 7
Runs - 176
HS - 68
Avg - 58.66
SR - 169.23

Played against 2 top teams. Failed against one and performed well against one.

He is suspect against genuine pace.

A decent player nevertheless and one that would walk into the Pakistani side.

You are kidding right? lol He has the second highest strike rate/average against 140k plus deliveries after Buttler. 150 strike rate. His main strength is against pace.
 
Looks so good while batting looks like almost nothing will get him but then bis record in 4 inns vs Pakistan is really bad.

As for as Qualifying a batsman in Pakistan lineup anyone who's indian batsman with a bat in hand would get rousing welcome in pak lineup where Asif, Khusdil,khusdil,Shan masood,Haider combine whole line up they are even inferior to hooda in terms of batting prospect the only good batsman i found is iftikhar there in t20's, Sky batted with 175+ strike rate against South africa where even South african were looking timid cats against indian trundlers , He was smashing pak bowlers as well but credit to Rauf he produced a peach of a delivery to get him out ,I am laughing someone calling him suspected against pace bowling then what would you call Babar,Rizwan ,Asif Who were Dancing against mediocre attack of India, Zimbabwe and Netherlands they were looking more trundlers against pace and bounce.

Of course he would. He can replace half of Pak batsman in the team all by himself. That includes Babar and Rizwan
 
The rise of Suryakumar Yadav is complete with the India star completing his remarkable recent rise to claim top spot on the latest MRF Tyres ICC Men's Player Rankings for T20I batters.

Yadav overtakes Pakistan veteran Mohammad Rizwan on the back of his impressive start to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, where the 32-year-old has registered back-to-back half centuries against the Netherlands and South Africa.

The India dynamo has been a revelation since making his international T20I debut in March last year and his latest feat to take the top ranking from Rizwan is a reward for his excellent recent run of form.

Yadav has already registered eight half-centuries and one brilliant century in T20I this year and his two most recent knocks in Australia indicate there is more to come from the attacking right-hander.

The India No.4 has been in great touch so far Down Under with 134 runs from three innings and his stylish 68 in Perth against the Proteas on Sunday was a clear highlight.

Perth vs Rabada and Nortje was not genuine pace?
 
Very quick off the block - Could be another blistering innings vs NZ in 1st ODI
 
31 of 26, unselfish batting..he is not self obsessed player like a certain keeper with self obsessed Twitter PR fans :inti
 
Crowned as ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year 2022
 
Got a very good opportunity to cement his place in the Indian ODI team but did nothing special. Now KL will be back. Samson with limited opportunities did better than Surya in ODIs. Samson is injured currently. :inti
 
Look at the PR of self obsessed fans..always ready to criticize certain players who may have a bad series just to ensure they put their hero on pedestral lol. :viru :inti
 
Test debut not gone according to plan

Out for 8 in the 1st Test vs Australia

If you see this delivery closely, it was a straight ball which was being portrayed by Sky as if it was great delivery.

To conclude, Sky is not good enough, either for tests or ODI.
 
SKY needs to play T20 cricket in Tests too. However, regardless of how he fares in the remaining matches, he should not be playing ahead of Gill.

He was probably given a mission to play his natural way so in 2 minds.
 
He was probably given a mission to play his natural way so in 2 minds.
Assuming for a moment that Sky has credentials to play test cricket at the highest level, he should have known better that this track doesn't allow extravagant strokes to be played even though he was playing his first ever test innings. Also, the kind of position we were in at that moment didn't warrant that shot. Besides, there was no hurry for runs as is the case in T20s, a format where Sky excels.

These are basic things which anyone playing test cricket should be aware of.
 
He should stick to T20s, he is very good at it. Not sure why some insecure fans got hurt when I stated the obvious. May be lack of understanding test cricket is the reason? :ab

He can play his trademark T20 innings in test cricket once or twice but in the long run we need a proper batsman with good technique in the test team. :inti
 
SKY FC stats

M - 79
avg - 45
S/R - 63

not bad but there are a few other players with better stats in domestic. anyways can understand why he was given a chance but that was one loose shot to attempt on this surface. be aggressive but not stupid.
 
He’s a t20 hack. That dismissal proves it. Should stick to Mickey Mouse cricket. Real cricket is not for him. It’s criminal that Gill is on the bench for this hack.

A football could have gone through that gap...awful dismissal
 
It's not his fault that he is in the Test team. What the h** is the management thinking? They put him in the test team based on his T20 hacking ability. The management have set him up for failure. After this escapade he will probably lose confidence and struggle in T20 also.
When I saw Gill was not in the team, I thought may be he was injured. Can't believe they dropped him. May be Kohli is threatened by Gill's popularity?
 
He is a v v capable batsman. He is solid in defense . India is trying to have an attacking option against spin in absence of Ayer . Esp as pant is not there. Also , sky is unfazed by fast bowling and can be an asset . India nurtures batsman like sehwag with abilities to take game away from opposition . Gill is an opener and india likely giving rahul his final chances to come good. If rahul does not perform , gill will play in his place . Sky and Ayer are competing for no 5 , rahul and gill for no 2 spot in team . Pujara and Kohli don’t seem to have competitors but sarfaraaz khan and even agrawal might replace them in future.

Not many will understand this. I said the same thing that he should stick to T20s. Otherwise failures in other format will affect his confidence and he will think twice before playing those shots in T20s. :inti

But he is superstar in T20 . Above babar and rizwan. Calm down mate he is not suit to test all we know. But he is no 1 T20 batsman in the world.
 
not good enough

but now that he's selected, he needs to play 2 Tests

Read my post again when did I say Babar or rizwan are better than him in t20. Them guys are miles better than him in a proper format. No need to get riled up over a fact.
 
SKY not part of the India WTC Final squad:

From the Indian squad that featured against Australia in the 3rd and 4th Test, Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ishan Kishan are the notable absentees while Shreyas Iyer couldn't be a part of the team owing to an injury. Along with Rahane, all-rounder Shardul Thakur has also been included in the squad for the WTC final.
 
Another excellent innings but should have stayed on!
 
He lives and dies by the sword. He shouldn't change his style regardless of his failures. This is what made him. But he should just be played in T20.
 
"We completely back Suryakumar Yadav. We believe he will do well in ODI Cricket and turn thing around in ODIs, and will be getting opportunity in the first two ODIs against Australia," : Rahul Dravid
 
Best ideal situation for SuryaKumar Yadav to prove himself for his selection in World Cup Squad. Lets see if he can finish the game or not
 
a welcoming fifty for Suryakumar Yadav He has scored 50 off 49 deliveries in winning cause. He is back in ODIs, a perfect knock from Surya, he is giving back to the management with performance after the backing in this format during tough times.
 
Who would believe he was actually struggling today. Still managed 72 (37)

Just that kinda guy
 
Yes, finding form at the right time for India.
The Indian secectors will face headaches (in a good way) on who bats in the middle order
 
Still not 100% convinced. He can do it in a postage stamp ground v 2nd string Australia but can he do it in a knock out match V England or

It is ture that this ground was a joke. But I reckon his class will eventually shine against the big boys soon

Well done.
Wonder whether he could be the difference for India this World Cup
 
It is ture that this ground was a joke. But I reckon his class will eventually shine against the big boys soon


View attachment 136733
In one interview, he said he liked larger grounds as they gave him more space to score. Two to three years ago, he was a different batsman - played good cricketing shots. Hope he plays like that in this World Cup. We don't want him to play T20 shots in ODI's.
 
This guy is one of the best batters in the world to watch when in full flow.

India still have this conveyor belt of top class batters, yet none of them have ever stood up in a knockout game. Maybe this year will be different.
 
Still not 100% convinced. He can do it in a postage stamp ground v 2nd string Australia but can he do it in a knock out match V England or
exactly. indians get offended so easily if you say something negative about their stars.
 
I believe, the same way India is getting stuck in ko matches, once they break the jinx, it will be a different story. May be this is the time
