Suryakumar Yadav
IND vs ENG: The time of waiting is over. The day for which the fans were eagerly waiting has arrived. The match between India and England is going to take place today at 7 pm in Kolkata. In the first match of the T20I series, both the teams will try to win. In this 5-match series, the command of Team India will be in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav while England will be captained by Jos Buttler. Both the captains are strong batsmen of their team, on whose shoulders will be the maximum responsibility of scoring runs. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India is performing brilliantly at home and this time too he will try to contribute significantly to his team’s victory.
Excellent record against England
Suryakumar Yadav has been in excellent form in T20I cricket since his debut and he single-handedly has the ability to destroy the bowling of any team. In such a situation, the English bowlers will have to stay away from Surya. During this period, Surya will also have a chance to make a great record. Surya made his T20I debut in March 2021 and since then he has scored 2570 runs in 78 T20I matches at an average of over 40 and a strike rate of over 167. This also includes 4 centuries and 1 half-century. Surya’s record against England is also excellent. He has scored 321 runs in 7 innings of 8 matches against England at an average of 45.85 and a strike rate of around 180. During this period, he has scored 1 century and 1 half-century from his bat.
Opportunity to leave all the batsmen behind
If Surya manages to score a century in the upcoming 5-match series against England, he will create a new record. So far 8 batsmen have scored centuries in T20Is against England. These include Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam, Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, Rovman Powell, Glenn Maxwell, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav. If Surya scores another century, he will become the first batsman in the world to score the most T20I centuries against England in the shortest format of cricket, defeating 7 top batsmen of the world. Not only this, with the help of a century innings, he will go ahead of 8 players including Gayle (422 runs) in scoring the most runs against England. For this he will need only 102 runs.
