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.
Is Asia cup taken seriously now?

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
Have been saying this. Till he performs in WT20, all this is hoopla about 360 & all is bit meaningless.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

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.
No question of prime or not prime here.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.

How long has he been playing t20i? Like 6 months and he is closing to #1?
Only in t20 can this happen. Proves again it’s not real cricket

Babar is twice the T20 player Sharma has ever been.
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.
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!
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.

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.

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.

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
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.
Genius.
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.

His average in ODIs is 29.93. He is a beast in T20s but ODIs are a different format.![]()
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.Test debut not gone according to plan

To conclude, Sky is not good enough, either for tests or ODI.
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.He was probably given a mission to play his natural way so in 2 minds.

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

exactly. indians get offended so easily if you say something negative about their stars.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
