Former India Test opener Aakash Chopra
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has claimed that star batter Suryakumar Yadav is India’s 360-degree player. Suryakumar’s exploits on Sunday were in vain as England defeated India by 17 runs in the 3rd T20I. The right-handed batter showed a series of shots en route to a flawless century. Aakash Chopra praised Suryakumar Yadav after his sensational innings in the 3rd T20I when he compared the fighter to former South African batter AB Devilliers.
“Surya’s knock was not only bravado, but a lot about the feel of the game…knowing where the outfielders were…and where the bowlers were likely to bowl. He’s India’s very own Mr. 360 degrees,” Chopra said exclusively on the Koo- app.
India may have lost the match, but the visitors won the T20I series against England 2-1.
Leading up to the match, England crushed 215 in the allotted 20 Overs as Dawid Malan and Liam Livingston ravaged the Indian bowlers.
In the chase of 216, India didn’t get off to a great start as the visitors lost skipper Rohit Sharma, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli within 5 overs.

However, it was Suryakumar’s sensational century (117) that brought India close to the mark before succumbing to defeat.
Both teams will close the horns in the ODI series from Tuesday
