Suryakumar Yadav Stuns Cricket Universe, Equals Virat Kohli's World Record In Half The Time
NDTV
Suryakumar Yadav equalled Virat Kohli's all-time T20I record in the T20 World Cup 2024 match against Afghanistan.
India's own Mr. 360 Suryakumar Yadav proved yet again why he is the No. 1 T20 batter in the world, scoring a brilliant half-century as the team thwarted the Afghanistan challenge in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 clash on Thursday. Suryakumar came out to bat when the likes of Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant had departed early. The batter orchestrated a brilliant partnership with Hardik Pandya to take India to 181 runs in 20 overs. In the process, Surya also matched a World Record that was held by Virat Kohli.
Courtesy of Surya's 28-ball 53, India defeated Afghanistan by 47 runs in the match. As a result, the middle-order batter was named the Player of the Match, for the 15th time in the history of T20 international cricket. Incidentally, that's also the all-time record, held by Kohli. While Surya is now level with the India great on the record, he did so in nearly half the innings.
