Suryakumar Yadav Equals Virat Kohli's T20I World Record in 56 Fewer matches and shines in his captaincy debut against Sri Lanka

In a thrilling display of cricketing prowess, Suryakumar Yadav has equaled Virat Kohli's esteemed world record, achieving the milestone in a remarkable 56 fewer matches. Yadav's extraordinary feat comes at the onset of his captaincy era, marking a historic moment in the series against Sri Lanka.

 

Following an explosive 74-run partnership between openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the first six overs, Suryakumar's brilliant 58 off just 26 balls set the tone for India's innings. The trio was significant in driving India to a formidable total of 213/7, placing tremendous pressure on the Sri Lankan side from the outset.

 

However, Sri Lanka batted with great determination, remaining competitive up to the 15th over. In the latter half of the contest, though, the Indian bowlers proved their worth by properly adjusting to the slow-paced pitch conditions. The Indian bowlers, especially the spinners Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and the recently arrived Riyan Parag, who took six wickets amongst them, destroyed the Sri Lankan batting order.

 

Suryakumar Yadav was chosen player of the match after his powerful performance, matching former India T20I star Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli has Player of the Match awards in his name in 125 T20I matches, whereas Suryakumar Yadav, having taken over as captain of the Indian squad, has now equaled Kohli in 56 fewer games played.

 

Since making his T20I debut in 2021, Suryakumar has grown to be a vital member of the team. The batter also rose to the top of the ICC rankings the previous year.
