“Sky (Suryakumar’s nickname) is a phenomenal talent. That caliber of talent does not enter the system on a regular basis. He does not throw out random cricket shots. His execution rate is absurd.

“He understands his game inside and out. He understands exactly what he needs to do. He is currently in his prime. The next 4-5 years might be a tremendous run for him,” Virat remarked in an ICC video.

“He bats freely without caring about outcomes where he gets his rewards.” skipper Rohit Sharma remarked of his long-term Mumbai Indians (MI) teammate in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

“I have still got a lot to learn”: Suryakumar Yadav

This year, the batter is experiencing an amazing run of success. Suryakumar had a great average of 42.50 while scoring 935 runs in 26 matches across 26 innings.  This year, he has amassed a century and eight half-centuries, with a top score of 117 against England.

As per Suryakumar, his journey has been fantastic, and he has loved every minute of it.

“After all of the practice sessions and sacrifices, I’m finally enjoying it.” If you want to succeed in international cricket, you must always be one step ahead of your opponents. I began to practice all of the strokes, wondering where the runs were on the ground and began to investigate all of the ground.”

“During his final Test match, I heard from Sachin Tendulkar, who has played international cricket for 24 years, that he still had some things to learn.” “My adventure has just begun; I still have a lot to learn,” Suryakumar concluded.

India is in second place with four points and two victories in three matches. Bangladesh is in third place with four points and two victories from three games.
