IND vs NED: No One Ever Thought About Suryakumar Yadav Being An Impact Player In The Future - Kapil Dev

Without a question, Suryakumar Yadav has developed into one of India’s most productive batsmen in white-ball cricket. He has performed some unbelievable feats with the bat in hand in T20Is over the past year or two, such as scoring at a strike rate of over 175 while batting at No. 4 in the middle overs, when run-scoring is the most difficult in the game’s shortest format.

With more than three months remaining in 2022, he has broken the record for the most runs by an Indian in a calendar year, albeit doing so in a losing effort against England.

To be honest, Suryakumar Yadav is unique not just for the runs he scores—which he has scored a lot of this season—but also for the way he does them.

Suryalumar Yadav’s Short But Impactful Start To The World Cup

Suryakumar Yadav was the only batter who didn’t seem to be in any discomfort during his limited time in the middle and who also got off to a fast start. He didn’t score many runs and didn’t have a significant effect on the outcome of the dramatic match that India won with the final ball.

The fast bowlers have a lot of options on the MCG ground. The Pakistani fast bowlers, who are far faster than their Indian counterparts, bowed their backs to extract steep bounce from the decent length after the Indian seamers utilised the wetness on the surface to swing the ball.

Early on, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli all appeared to have a difficult time adjusting to the pace and bounce of the wicket.

However, Suryakumar Yadav, entering the middle at 10 for 2 in the fourth over, hit his first ball straight back past Haris Rauf, who was likely the fastest bowler of the evening, to get off to a start with a boundary. The following ball was struck square through the off-side for three runs.

In the following over, Rauf slightly reduced his length and quickened his tempo, but Suryakumar was too skilled. He yanked it with contempt in order to secure his second boundary. He was despatched a ball later as Rauf got one to bounce off a length and squeezed him, but Suryakumar’s 15 off 10 balls was a sight to behold.

We Can’t Think About India Without Suryakumar Yadav

Few people anticipated Suryakumar Yadav’s growth into such a significant player, but at this point, an Indian squad without him is “unthinkable,” according to legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev.

“In fact, no one ever thought about Yadav being an impact player in the future, but he did great with his batting and forced the world to talk about him. Now, we can’t think about India without him.

Having a batter like Suryakumar in the team in the company of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, a team automatically becomes strong,” Kapil said on the sidelines of a promotional event.

When India plays the Netherlands in their next Super 12 game on Thursday at Sydney Cricket Ground, SKY will be aiming for a huge score.
