SKY vs ABD: Against Sri Lanka, Suryakumar Yadav hit a century in the third Twenty20 match. His third century in T20 international play came with this. Suryakumar is now regarded as the finest player in T20. Due to his batting style, he has frequently been compared to former South African batsman AB de Villiers in terms of playing style.
In T20 cricket, De Villiers, Chris Gayle, and a few other players have also had exceptional outcomes, but what Surya is doing this time has many people completely off guard. On social media, people are already debating whether Suryakumar is the greatest player to ever play T20.
Ajay Jadeja, a former cricketer for India, made a significant statement in this regard. He has argued that Suryakumar is only slightly superior to the legendary de Villiers in T20. Jadeja commented on De Villiers and Suryakumar in an interview with a sports website following India’s convincing 91-run victory over Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at Rajkot. Jadeja compares the two players in a number of areas, including strength, wrist work, consistency, and hitting angle.
There is no denying that AB de Villiers is one of the best players we have ever seen, according to Jadeja. The consistency of Suryakumar is somewhat high. Along with the hitting prowess of de Villiers, in my opinion, he gives his game more power. Suryakumar outplays de Villiers in terms of wrist action. De Villiers was lacking in wrist movement. Thus, the wrist plays a role in every aspect of hitting sixes that you mention. Around the entire field, Surya’s wrists perform better than de Villiers’.
On Saturday, Suryakumar played an inning against Sri Lanka in the third T20 that included 112 runs in 51 balls. In T20 cricket, Suryakumar has altered the manner that batting is done. Suryakumar also stumbles while striking sixes, but he is unharmed. He is quite fit, too. The three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka will now begin on January 10. The 32-year-old fiery batter will play.
