[VIDEO] Suryakumar Yadav performance watch

Surya and Rahul are both garbage batsman.

India rely on Rohit and Kohli who are not even half as good as they were at peak and maybe Pandya.

SL were brilliant with ball yesterday except during Rohit's onslaught who was great himself.
 
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.

It was not some random poster that compared him to ABD, it was actually Ponting who said so in an interview. And I will take Ponting's opinion over some random judgements on the basis of a few matches.
 
Suryakumar still has some way to go in T20s before comparison. de Villiers may not have great stats in T20s but received a lot of peer reputation even in this format.

But on forums you will have to take random judgements of random posters and then post your views. You can't hide behind experts/players only when it suits your agenda. :inti
 
The Robin Van Persie of T20 batting

We have not seen the best of him in this tournament

He will come good soon
 
What was Babar's performance in this cup?
If the supposed number one batsman can fail than what's wrong with Surya's failure?
He will do well in Aus.
 
He is a high-risk player. But India needs a player like him. Steady eddies don't cut it in T20. They can score so many 30s and 40s without being helpful to the team.

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.

Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav surpassed Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to claim the third position in the latest ICC T20I batters rankings on Wednesday.
 
High class batting from SKY. That kind of batsman that every great T20 team needs. :inti
 
Babar should be able to displace SKY by time this series ends

Suryakumar Yadav became the highest run-scorer for India in a calendar year in T20Is during the first T20I against South Africa in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.

India v South Africa, 1st T20I Scorecard
Suryakumar Yadav continued his incredible run in T20Is in 2022, completing more than 700 runs in the format in the year. His tally of runs in T20Is in 2022 is a record for an Indian batter with Suryakumar going past Shikhar Dhawan's 689 runs in 2018 in the format.

What makes his record even more outrageous is the fact that Yadav has scored these runs at a strike rate of more than 180 and an average more than 40.

Player Runs Batting average Strike rate Year
Suryakumar Yadav 732 40.66 180.29 2022
Shikhar Dhawan 689 40.52 147.22 2018
Virat Kohli 641 106.83 140.26 2016
Rohit Sharma 590 36.87 147.5 2018
Rohit Sharma 497 29.23 131.48 2016
Rohit Sharma 497 26.15 146.17 2022

Walking in at No.4 in the first T20I against South Africa with India reduced to 17/2 in the seventh over, Yadav hit two sixes off his first three balls to give the Indian innings a change in momentum after a slow start.

He remained unbeaten on 50 off 33 balls as India scaled the target with more than three overs to spare.

With the two sixes early in the innings, Yadav also went past Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan to record the most sixes in any calendar year in T20Is. Rizwan held the record for his 42 sixes in 2021 with Martin Guptill also smashing 41 sixes in 2021.

Yadav has taken his tally of sixes to 45 in 2022 already, a record in all T20Is, with three more months to widen the gap with Rizwan. While Rizwan took 26 innings to make 42 sixes, Suryakumar has broken the record batting five times fewer.

Yadav is up to second position in the latest MRF Tyres ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings with 801 rating points after his half-century in the third and final T20I against Australia in Hyderabad

He is batting at a very high level these days. I hope his golden run stops quickly.
 
Rizwan Vs SKY Walker is the t20 battle of the titans for this generation

Exciting to watch but a bit of a minnow basher. I never rate a player until he score runs against quality attacks in tough conditions. Hence both SKY and Samson are overrated in my book.
 
There is no stopping Suryakumar Yadav in the shortest format of the game in 2022, as he has now become the batter with the highest number of sixes in a calendar year. He reached this landmark during India's first T20I in three-match series against South Africa in Kerala. During the match, chasing a low score of 107 on a tricky pitch offering swing and a great deal of bounce, the wristy right-hander looked head and shoulders above all, seeming to be batting on a different surface.

He smashed an unbeaten 50 off just 33 balls, a knock consisting of five fours and three sixes. On a pitch where even a strike rate of 100 was difficult, Suryakumar hit the ball at a rate of 151.52.

The three sixes took his tally to 45 sixes in 2022.

With this, he has gone past Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, who had hit 42 sixes in 2021 and held the record previously. New Zealand's veteran Martin Guptill is third with 41 sixes in 2021. Interestingly, Rizwan took 26 innings to hit his 42 sixes, but Suryakumar has broken his record in just 21 innings.

Coming to the match, with this victory, India leads the series 1-0.

Put to bat first by India, South Africa had a start so bad that even nightmarish would be an understatement. The unreal swing generated by Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep Singh saw the Proteas lose half of their team for just nine runs in less than three overs.

However, fighting knocks from Keshav Maharaj (41), Aiden Markram (25) and Wayne Parnell (24) helped Proteas save face and post 106/8 in 20 overs.

Chahar (2/24) and Arshdeep (3/32) delivered brilliant four-over spells for India and destroyed South Africa's top order. Harshal Patel (2/26) and Axar Patel (1/16) also impressed with their spells.

Chasing 107, India were off to a slow start, losing Rohit Sharma (0) and Virat Kohli (3) cheaply to Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.

Has failed in most ODIs he played so far.
India will go with this batting line up in ODIs.

Rohit
Dhawan/Gill
Kohli
KL Rahul
Pant
Pandya
Jadeja

No place for him in full strength ODI team.
 
Shreyas Iyer is better than him in ODIs because he can pace the inning at ODI level and bat for 100 balls.

Surya is not suited at 3 or 4 in ODIs.

There is no place for Dhawan. He is playing because his friends want to keep him relevant.

Else there is no reason why KL and Rohit who open in T20s and tests cannot open in ODIs.
 
Unselfishness is his strength. Weird when you say that. Other day he could have easily slowed down a bit to get his 100 as he got out for 69 in 13th over. He never does that. That is why his T20I strike rate is 173.
 
Brilliant again today 61 off just 22 balls - The joint-second-fastest T20I fifty by an India player

Amazing consistency.

Yawn you are a hypocrite your biggest complaint about Amla was he never shows up at championships and only performs in useless bilatlerial this guy is the same yet you salivate over him just because he plays for your country.

I might or not be a hypocrite, but you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Amal’s status as a bilateral bully was established after failing in numerous tournaments throughout his career.

He has played almost a dozen ICC tournaments and failed in every single one of them.

SKY has only played one ICC tournament so far and one Asia Cup, and it is comically early to label him as a bilateral bully. Please wait for 2-3 tournaments to give him this label.

As for as my nationality is concerned, unfortunately, with great pain and disappointed, I have the bad luck of being a Pakistani.

Yes but he is 0-2 at multinational championships so yes you are a hypocrite for hyping him when you targeted Amla for the same issues
 
This player is becoming a problem for oppositions.

To score at such a rate is simply amazing.

He may be whatever minnow bully or bilateral bully but he does play some outrageous shot. Today he flicked a low full toss from Rabada over keeper's head. I saw him playing a lofted drive over third man for six off Jordan in England series. Amazing talent.
 
they called him minnow basher, he bashed eng, aus, sa. they will now call him bilateral bully, he should play a couple of key innings in WC and then they'll call him T20 bully and it continues.....

Don't you even try to bring the fans into it.

He only has himself to blame.

He had a massive opportunity last month during Asia Cup to get rid of that tag for good.

What does he do? Plays like an absoloute tail ender especially that inning vs Pak.

Stop.
 
Yet to perform in big tournaments.
Failed in t20 wc.. Failed in Asia Cup.

Hope he will perform in upcoming t20 wc.
He has great potential.

I say it is more a coincidence than SKY choking in those matches. He did play shots. Perished while doing that. He is not a choker. His game comes with certain risks.

World matches random guys especially in T20 perform than expected guys. Nobody would have predicted guys liek Marsh, Mitchell, Neesham, Wade would be the stars of the last world T20,
 
I would wait to see his ODI performance. But does India even care about ODIs anymore? T20I is getting more and more exposure
 
Rizwan performs against India

Surya never performs against Pakistan

Rizwan>>>>>>>Suryakumar
 
Dangerous customer. Lifting his team to a total of 236 is just crazy.

SA tend to be at receiving end against India, didn't Rohit also smash a double ton in ODIs against them?
 
He is one of those players that can score incredible shots against average or below average balls. When he tries to play the same way against good balls, he gets out. I think after Asia cup he was told to focus on that. There is a definite improvement. However, if he's there at death, he can swing the games for India better than anyone in that Indian team because of the variety of his strokes and because bowlers make a lot of mistakes during death. Somebody like Rauf can get him out easily but he can also pick someone like Shaheen apart if he errs at the death.

None of the ball he got out were wicket taking balls. In T20 shots don't come off from time to time. He has no real weakness like short ball or wide ball or yorker or spin.

Tendulkar, not Rohit.

Rohit has double ton vs Sri Lanka and Australia.
 
India keeps producing great power hitters while we are blessed with all of batsmen playing selfish and with medieval approach. True fans don't care about stats. It's the impact of players that matters. Rizwan has been statistically the best T20 batsman in last 2 odd years but in this series and Asia cup we have seen he is impactless player.

We need to change our Misbah esque approach and this should be enforced by PCB. No coach or captain should be allowed to get away with such pathetic selfish mentality that is rich in Pak cricket currently.
 
The battle to be the No.1 ranked T20I batter in the world has further intensified after India star Suryakumar Yadav edged even closer to Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan on the latest MRF Tyres ICC Men's Player Rankings.

Yadav continued his stunning rise in 2022 by finishing India's recent T20I series at home against South Africa with two half centuries and as their leading run scorer with a total of 119 runs.

That form saw Yadav close to within 16 rating points of Rizwan on the updated T20I batter rankings that were released by the ICC on Wednesday and the 32-year-old should get the chance to claim top billing during the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.

He’s already the real no.1

Rizwan is an imposter at that position
 
He is several notches above Babar and Rizwan in T20s. No comparison whatsoever.

Phenomenal start but unfortunately the conditions in witch he has batted were not good. It was 200+ pitches and stadiums only.

Lets see what he will do in the world cup. He is the main batsman from India.

Looks like you haven't watched him bat in the first game against South Africa.

And anyways, most t20 wickets around the world are flat and batting friendly. There is no such thing as "not good" conditions in t20 cricket unless they're Mirpur level bad.

The pitch in 1st T20 vs SA was pacer friendly and SA got bundled out for 108 unable to cope with swing. SKY scored 50 @ 151 s/r in it, which you might not be familiar with.

I know it, it's why I said he has had a phenomenal start to his T20 career.
This 1/2 innings are not enough just like discarding him for 2/3 failures in important games isn't enough.

They are playing for their team. Not for their averages and ICC rankings

To you that maybe playing as losers but not to the world.
 
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
 
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
