Suryakumar Yadav 3000 T20I runs milestone and 26 ball fifty
India captain Suryakumar Yadav came into the series with a poor form. However, the star batter found his form back which is a great news for the Indian, especially ahead of the T20 World Cup which is starting on February 7.
The right-handed batter smashed a 26-ball fifty and departed after scoring 63 runs. During the innings, the star batter also crossed the 3,000-run mark in T20Is and became the fastest to do so in terms of balls faced, taking only 1,822 deliveries to achieve the milestone.
