The upcoming Asia cup and World cup will settle the issue and make it clear who the best T20 batsman is. Some fans will then go into hiding.

Congrats, a single bowler out of 5 front-line bowlers wasn't smashed around the park. As I said the bowl must've been staying low and swinging around corners.
We all should also be congratulating Kyle Mayers who smashed 73 runs off just 50 balls on that absolute minefield.
Good point. I was shocked when I saw the 7th ranked WI only score 164 against the 1st ranked India. Anyone that watches cricket knows that lower-ranked teams score more than higher-ranked teams.
That seems like more of an Indian problem tbh.
Ah yes, the good old you didn't watch the match. The reason I know that pitch wasn't hard to bat on is because I actually watched the match. That pitch was just a standard flat pitch which would explain why two inexperienced batsmen got 70+ scores in the same match.

They used to be. But then again, Pakistan hasn't played a T20 series in UAE since 2018. And the pitches for the World Cup were fairly well-balanced.
1) You also quoted a single bowler (Avesh) from 5 who got smashed around the park. So why cant I quote one who didn't?
2) You have an issue with 7th rank West Indies team but few post ago sharing examples of how Pak faced touch pitches in Bangladesh (10th rank team). Hypocrisy much?
Anyway not sure why you are getting so worked up. No Indian fan has claimed Surya Kumar is best T20 batsman or anything.

Front-line Indian bowlers had the following economy rates during their last match.
Bowler 1 economy rate - 8.75
Bowler 2 economy rate - 15.66(lol)
Bowler 3 economy rate - 4.75
Bowler 4 economy rate - 8.25
Bowler 5 economy rate - 6.50
Two bowlers with an economy rate of over 8 and one with an economy rate of over 15. Must've been one of the toughest T20 pitches ever made for batsmen in T20 history. Normally every bowler has an economy rate of over 15.
Pitches in the Bangladesh series were tough to bat on as you can see from the examples I have provided, the pitches in WI aren't tough to bat on.
Both these teams are equally bad in T20s although Bangladesh is undoubtedly better than WI in home T20s.
Dude you randomly jumped in a debate and now you're asking me why I'm having a debate. Did you even read the title of this thread? Matlab kuch bhi.
Yeah there are some turners in India and Bangladesh but other than that there is none. I don't agree with T20I rankings as it keeps changing too often for my liking and isn't consistent as the other formats but that is known already. We have seen some ridiculous fluctuations in player/team rankings in this format in the past.
I don't understand the problem here, I remember similar discussions have happened in this forum about random changes in T20 rankings in the past and how unreliable they are. Is this discussion so lively because it is an Indian who has made it to the second spot? Once thing people have to realise is that 22 games for T20Is is a lot. It is not like Tests & ODI. While we are going bonkers about Suryakumar Yadav as he has displaced Mohammad Rizwan, there are two other players in the top 10 list who have played similar amount of games as the former and probably debuted at the same time. Two Sri Lankan bowlers in the top 10 bowlers list as well who have played less than 30 games and average 27 & 28 respectively which is quite high for the format.
So overall the T20 rankings is a sham and there no reason to get worked up so much. People who watch the games know who is consistent and who is better. Not all players play the T20s regularly for the country, for example most of the Indian players miss majority of the T20 games unless it is in SENA these days.

You only have to look through this forum to see how many people regard him as an ATG. I am not one of them. But there are plenty of them on this forum and outside.
Thread isn't about them though.
On topic...I agree SKY looks in real good touch and a threat but calling him the best batsman is too early

Surya is the second best Asian batsman in T20s on current form. There is no denying to this fact, however, T20s are not really all the big deal at the broader level so it is not some huge achievement.
Rishabh Pant, however, is the best (debatable) or second best but more importantly most destructive Asian batsman on current form in Tests and that's actually a big big deal.

On average UAE pitches are harder to bat on than Indian pitches in T20s. SKY has yet to prove himself. You can't be called the 2nd best Asian T20 batsman after only playing 8 innings against half-decent teams out of which only one innings was on a semi-difficult pitch.

SKY is definitely one of the most versatile batsman going around in the world. Bit of Maxwell except SKY can open the innings too. Bat at any position. 360 degree game. Successful against both pace and spin. When on song he is an MVP. Will be an important component in India's line up.

It was a great chance for SKY to show his skills in ODIs too but he couldnt perform again.
Again got out cheaply against Bangladesh tonight.

Suryakumar Yadav will have an opportunity to break a huge record of Virat Kohli in the third T20I of the five-match series against Australia on Tuesday. The number 1 T20I batter could become the fastest Indian to score 2000 runs in the format if he gets an opportunity to bat against Australia in Guwahati. Suryakumar is 60 runs shy of achieving the milestone. In 52 T20I innings, he has scored 1940 runs. On the other hand, Kohli had reached the landmark of 2000 T20I runs in his 56th innings.
It is worth noting that if Suryakumar reaches the milestone of 2000 T20I runs in the third match against Australia on Tuesday, he will narrowly miss out on the world record of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who both achieved the feat in 52nd innings.

In the latest ICC Rankings, Suryakumar Yadav retained his number 1 spot and has extended his lead further with 865 points with the next best at 787 points (Mohammad Rizwan) at number 2.
He has been brilliant in the T20 format but still not able to do anything worth mentioning in ODI format.

Updates on Suryakumar Yadav injury by BCCI
As for Suryakumar, he is on a delicate timeline that could see him remain out of action until the IPL 2024 season starts. Surya has a sports hernia for which he is likely to undergo surgery abroad. Such a situation rules him out for about two months.
A report in the Times of India suggested that the Mumbai Indians batter could even miss the first few games of the IPL season because of his situation.
Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com
"SKY was recently diagnosed with a sports hernia. He is currently recuperating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. In two-three days, he will fly for Munich, Germany, to get operated for it. It means that he certainly won't be playing for Mumbai this season in the Ranji Trophy and is likely to miss the initial games for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL," a source in the BCCI was quoted as saying.
"With the T20 World Cup in June, Surya will be given all the time to recover properly. He is crucial to India's chances in the T20 World Cup"

'We are awaiting updates on Suryakumar from the BCCI. We have always been under a cloud of fitness issues, but we have a world-class medical team. We may lose one or two in terms of fitness, but we have to move on as it is sport.'"

Suryakumar Yadav Fit To Play In IPL, Set To Feature In Upcoming Mumbai Indians Clash Vs Delhi Capitals
Mumbai Indians star batter Suryakumar is fit to play and he will feature in the upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals which will be played on April 7 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Suryakumar, 33, has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury during the tour of South Africa in December 2023. The Mumbai Indians batter went to Munich, Germany for surgery in January.
MI are still looking for their maiden victory in the ongoing Indian Premier League, the franchise is facing a lot of heat from the fans since they have appointed Hardik Pandya as their new captain for the IPL.
“He is fit now. The NCA made him play a few practice games and he looked good. He can join the Mumbai Indians team. We wanted to be sure that when Surya goes back to MI, he is 100 percent fit and ready to play games. He wasn’t feeling 100% during his first fitness Test before the IPL, so we waited to see if there was any pain while he was batting,” the source revealed one cricket.

Suryakumar's IPL blitz eases comeback concerns ahead of T20 World Cup
Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav blew away the cobwebs with a rapid fifty in Thursday's Indian Premier League (IPL) match to ease India's concerns over his return to action ahead of the T20 World Cup in June.
The top ranked batter in T20 Internationals, Suryakumar missed Mumbai's first three matches of the season as he completed his recovery from an ankle injury and a sports hernia operation.
The 33-year-old is virtually assured of his place in the India squad for the T20 World Cup in the U.S. and West Indies but was out for a duck in his first match of the season against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
Suryakumar was back in his element in Thursday's home match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, however, smashing 52 off 19 balls in a knock that included four sixes.
After Jasprit Bumrah (5-21) had restricted Bengaluru to 196-8, Mumbai took charge as Ishan Kishan (69) and Rohit Sharma (38) plundered 101 runs inside nine overs.
"Chasing (around) 200 at the Wankhede, it's important to know if there is any dew factor," Suryakumar said after Mumbai cruised to a seven-wicket victory with 27 balls to spare.
"If it is, you got to take your chances and that's what we did today.
"When we passed the 10th over, the game was all set by Ishan and Rohit. We knew we had to finish early for that net run-rate thing."
Suryakumar's display of unorthodox shotmaking included a scoop from outside the off-stump that raced to the fine leg boundary and a sliced six off Reece Topley over deep point.
"I practise these shots a lot, it's in my muscle memory now," he said.
Bumrah's sublime bowling saw him named player of the match and Suryakumar is happy they are on the same side.
"It's been two to three years that I've never batted against Jasprit in the nets," Suryakumar said of his Mumbai and India team mate.
"Either he breaks my bat, or my foot."

Rankings can't ever be FAIR, if everyone just keeps swip swopping places faster then Azam Khan finishing his plate.
Plus they don't even make sense at times? Some Ireland players are ranked in the top 10 solely because they butcher weaker teams but their clearly not top 10 material.
I don't believe in rankings, at best I'll rank a player after a tournament based of tournament rankings only.
Like for WC 2023 my batting ranking would be
1) Kohli (5 centuries and highest avg puts him here)
2) Quinton (Best opener and 4 centuries)
3) Rachin ravindra
4/5) Rohit Sharma/ Warner/ Travis head.
Travis has 2 clutch innings but didn't play much so can't put him > Consistent performers who played the whole cup, Sharma was the best at PP domination but his constant 50's don't warrant it > the 3, Warner long innings are good but he didn't fore during clutch times and wasn't Consistent.
^^ However these rankings are tournament only, and are outdated now.
If you want Babar in top 5, then sure, for 2021 t20 wc put him up their, but he obviously fell off in 2022, let's see if he and rizwan make it back up for 2024.
Rankings on series and tours are bogus and always will be.

While speaking on the live program of a local Indian sports channel, Brian Lara lauds Suryakumar Yadav's comeback from injury:
"Yeah, it’s a battle, but you know, okay, those are some stats that you pull out. I mean, those are the times when he may have failed, but this guy is in superb form. And I mean, if he wants to succumb to that and say, okay, I’m going to rematch against you later. I’ve got other guys I can take on. He can do that as well.”
“But I believe that the confidence that he’s in, whether it’s left arm spin or left arm pace, whatever you call it, I think he’s going to drop the slower balls for most battles. And when you have to actually put pace on the ball, it’s always dicey. You like pace on the ball where you can carve it in different directions.”

Sky has never been a good odi player, he's a t20 specialist.

He came in to bat during the finals of the Odi World Cup during the last 15 overs...
The game dynamics did not change for him. Its not like he was required to build an innings in a 50 over match. He came out to bat in the last 15 overs and lost the World Cup for India single handedly.
Everyone knows, he can only bat on flat track, and is the biggest Flat Track bully. The moment the pitch slightly favors the bowlers, he gets exposed, plus he cant handle the pressure.
Heck, the Indian posters who bash our bowlers, this guy couldnt even score a run against Pakistan in 3-4 games.

15 final overs of an odi are not the same as the final 6 to 7 of a t20 lol? The ball in t20 is mostly fresh through and through.
He didn't single handidely lose the wc for India, That's utter nonsense. India lost one game and that's the final.
Blame kl Rahul to ve the biggest culprit along with the bowlers who never found an answer to Travis head.

so Surya would fail in a T20 game if he had to come out during the 5th or 6th over of the game?
A fresh ball ?
In one day cricket they use two new balls from both ends. In t20 cricket they only use 1 new ball.
So a one day ball from one end is basically 10-15 overs old, which is as old as in a t20 game.
India lost the most important game and it was the finals and only because this guy is a flat track bully and couldn't play on a track where the ball moves. He infact cant handle pressure be it a finals or a Pakistan match as he bottles it.

I find Pakistani attack to be a joke? Your results on the field decide whether Pakistan bowling attack is a joke or not. Have the recent results shown they are anything but a joke?
They are such a joke, that they have been forced into bringing back two players who apparently were not considered good enough for them. And it was fans like you who belittled, disgraced those two bowlers. Fans like you, specifically @hitthestump claimed “Shaheen is the guy who made everyone who Mohammad Amir is”.
You are the one who deserves this humiliation. This is your destiny.

Again, if the Pakistani bowling attack is a joke by whatever logic you want to apply, why cant Flat Track bully Yadav not perform against them or why he failed in the finals of the World Cup

Reduced to talking barely coherent falsehoods now, are we?
This thread is about his stature in the T20 format .
His knock against SA in the World T20 was in the toughest batting conditions in the World Cup.

His strike rate is much lower in IPL compared to internationals. His strike rate is only around high 140s in the IPL. But at internationals very high.

surya yadav AVE 45 s/r 171
babar azam AVE 41 s/r 129
rizwan AVE 48 s/r 127
t20 is the the format where you need to score fast as possible in minimal balls as possible, that's why strike rate is important in this format, its not like tests where you can almost ignore the strike rate.
its even sane to think about comparing surya with rizwan and babar, surya is way ahead
babar and rizwan are not even t20 players they are just greedy inviduals hogging places of deserving youngsters in t20 cricket
we are true cricket fans we are not going to hype up jokers just because they are Pakistanis

Mohammad Haris did the same thing against SA,Reduced to talking barely coherent falsehoods now, are we?

yet when mr. yadav faced England in the Semis, he was again exposed by scoring only 14 runs and leaving India stranded for a score of 168. Pandya had to save India. In response, England threw India out of the World t20 by winning with 10 wickets to spare.

Not just deserving youngsters, but certified senior T20 openers too.
Pakistan’s real opening pair should have been Fakhar and Sharjeel.

If Rizwan and Babar were to be playing for India they would have been kicked out long back from the T20 set up. Would have been endlessly trolled on twitter. They have this tuk tuk academy where Rizwan has life long membership lol
When did he ever step up for India in t20 or odi events? Like he did in 2023 wc lol.
Or what about that test selection lol. What a Great batsman indeed. Guy is a joke

Oh yea. Without fail. He can't hit slow bouncers. Just watch YouTube highlights of him vs slow bouncers. He tries to do some fancy ramp shot and loooool always gets out. Guy is a joke.
Yea yea he played one test match vs england I think. Or was it australia. I might be wrong. But he played and he scored under 10 I am quite sure. And this mind you is in India. His home conditions. I am also including both innings.

India lost because KL Rahul took 1/3rd of the innings and scored unimportant runs, Sky failing doesn't mean he's the main contributing factor.
Also I don't get your logic of our bowling sucks but sky can't play it? What are you insinuating?
Our bowling was bad and the results are their to see. Sky hasn't been able to perform in odi but can in t20, and the results are their to see.
If you want me to change my mind, wait till the world cup and let me see sky failing. If he does then I'll change my mind until then I'm going by results achieved, not personal feelings or interpretations of how you see fields.
Also next time please don't say Everyone knows that, If everyone knew it, their wouldn't be a discussion. Sky being a flat track bully according to you isn't factual in the sense that everyone views the world as being round.

Bro that is not true. How many times has falhar failed in a grand stage which includes asia cup 2022 and t20 world cup 2022, yet the same so called high five gang that you label us as, Dr bassim is the biggest supporter of fakhar here.
Why isn't he bashed for failing like no Tommorow?
Babar and rizwan don't strike at 171 and have had multiple match winning contributions in t20 like sky has.
I bash Kl Rahul all the time lol, I bashed him in the finals as well, I only bash people when their the main culprits in a loss, not when they fail or fall for a duck lol.

He's a failure in odi and test no doubt. No denying that. Don't know what his test and odi status has to do with this being a t20 performance thread.
Why not just make a thread asking why sky is a goat t20 batter but a bad odi and test batsmen?
That would make for an Intresting discussion rather then whatever this war is.

You said he was an FTB . Mohammad Haris has nothing to do with this thread.
He averages 14 and strikes at 127 in T20I cricket.
Haris scored that on a flat Sydney wicket while SKY did that in conditions where there was seam,bounce and swing.
You called SKY an FTB and now you are changing goalposts because you have no way of validating it.

T20 is a format where adventurous approach won't produce consistent results. But even with that approach SKY producing this level of consistency deserves credit. Having that mindset is the first thing. Look at Finn Allen, Phil Salt. They have that mindset. that is where it starts. If your mindset is to playing cautiously through to 20 overs then that deserves criticism.
In t20 too man. When he has performed in pressure games? Against Pakistan or anyone in Ko games?
I disagree. I would choose pant and force pant to adapt to t20. He is mentally strong. Pure match winner. This guy is a jabroni. A fraud.
Pant is gold. He is atg calibre player.
No problem with that. The problem is they hate their own. Look at poster thinking iyer is better than Babar when the guy has pretty much flopped everywhere. If the nationalties were reversed the same posters would have been mocking iyer as an htb.

He won 1 t20 wc for india, sky won 0
