Star Indian batting sensation Suryakumar Yadav is enjoying the form of his life in the shortest format of the game. He has proved it once again in the ongoing second of the three-match T20I series against New Zealand. The 32-year-old has smashed a swashbuckling century in just 49 balls. SKY has registered 11 boundaries and seven sixes to his name in the Indian innings.
Indian fans are extremely overjoyed with another million-dollar performance from the World's number-one T20I batter. They took to Twitter to shower praises on the Mumbai-born Indian batting prodigy. Notably, Surya scored his century with a strike rate of more than 200.
Interestingly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the one-man show for India in the second T20I of the three-match series.
