The dream days are not ending for India’s star batter Suryakumar Yadav who has been in the trends for past couple of month for impeccable form and unorthodox batting style. Surya is currently the World Number 1 in T20 batting rankings and has been delivering for Team India in every series consistently.
In the latest, the batter was picked as ICC Men’s T20I cricketer of the year for 2022 where he scored over 1,000 runs and ruled the tally for most runs scored.
Tight competition
Suryakumar beat competition from England’s left-arm pace all-rounder Sam Curran, Zimbabwe’s off-spin all-rounder Sikandar Raza and 2021 award winner, Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, to get the coveted honour.
“Thank you so much, ICC for naming me ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year. It’s a great feeling as 2022 was amazing for me. From a personal point of view, I enjoyed the few knocks I played in that year. If I had to pick one knock which was very special to me, was the first hundred for my country (against England in the third T20I at Nottingham) because the first hundred is always special. Hopefully, many more knocks to come,” he said on receiving the award.
Suryamar failed in ODI series
He recently also made a comeback in the ODI setup against New Zealand this month after being away during the Bangladesh series but failed to deliver in the two matches he got to bat.
Suryakumar will next feature in the three-match T20I series vs New Zealand starting January 27.
