Suryakumar Yadav plays a first for a six against Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup.
Suryakumar Yadav is in the shape of his life. The right-handed batter has set the stage on fire with his sensational stroke play during the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia. He is the backbone of India’s middle class and more often than not continues to perform for the side. On Sunday, there was no expectation for the batter when India faced Zimbabwe at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He scored a fine 61, not from just 25 balls, an innings that ended with six fours and four sixes.
Suryakumar’s knock on Sunday included some breathtaking and incredible shots. In the last over of India’s at bat, he hit a sensational scoop that left the fans stunned.
On the third ball of the 20th over, bowled by Zimbabwe’s left arm pacer Richard Ngarava, Suryakumar went over the stumps to play a shot to the leg side.
Ngarava followed the batter and threw a full toss at him near the tram line, but Suryakumar still managed to scoop the ball from there for a six over backward square leg.
