Suryakumar Yadav, the destructive right handed batter set the stage on fire by smashing a thunderstorm century against Sri Lanka. The batter scored 112 runs in 51 balls where he struck 7 fours and 9 sixes as he took all the bowlers to the cleaners with his attacking brand of cricket.

Axar Patel had a memorable T20I Series where the all-rounder bowled a massive 20th over in the 1st T20I match and almost took India over the finish line in the 2nd T20I with his brisk stroke-play. It won’t be wrong to say that Axar now has cemented his place in the team.

Skipper Hardik Pandya would be quite ecstatic with the team’s performance as the players showed never to say die attitude. The management would be thinking of using Axar Patel as a pinch hitter because the way he thrashed Lankan bowlers was quite amazing.
