Suryakumar Yadav Stats T20 World Cup 2024:
The Indian cricket team showcased outstanding performances in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. Indian middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav remained in the spotlight. Initially struggling for form, Yadav soon caught fire with the bat.
Sensational Catch by Suryakumar in the Final
In the T20 ranking by ICC, Suryakumar Yadav, positioned second, scored 199 runs across eight innings at an average of 28.42. With two half-centuries in the tournament, his explosive strike-rate stood at 135.37. Following captain Rohit Sharma, he became India's second-highest run-scorer in the current T20 World Cup.
Suryakumar's early matches against Ireland and Pakistan didn't yield significant runs, but his comebacks with half-centuries against the USA and Afghanistan were a testament to his form. Although he managed only 6 runs against Bangladesh, he played a vital 31-run inning off 16 balls against Australia, contributing to India's sizable total. His performance continued with 47 runs in the semifinal against England. Despite scoring only 3 runs in the final against South Africa, his catch of David Miller in the final over was a turning point for the game.
Reminiscent of the former South African captain AB de Villers, Suryakumar Yadav is rightly India's 'Mr. 360'. From sweeps to reverse sweeps and paddles, his shots are a marvel to behold.

Equally adept at slicing the ball due to his supple wristwork, Yadav can effortlessly play fine leg and long-off shots. Sometimes it seems he predicts exactly where the ball will land, using the ball's pace to his advantage to play fine leg, behind the wicket, or straight drives.
