Suryakumar Yadav on Sunday became only the second Indian to hit two hundreds in a calendar year, continuing on his rich vein of form in 2022. After having a superb T20 World Cup 2022, 'SKY' is behind skipper Rohit Sharma (4) who is the only batter to score two T20I centuries in a calendar year in 2018.

With the feat, Suryakumar also joins Rohit, opener KL Rahul (2) as the only other Indian to have two or more T20I hundred. While Suryakumar's second T20 ton came against New Zealand, he had scored his maiden hundred in July against England.

Thanks to his ton, India registered a 65-run victory over New Zealand in the 3-match T20I series. India next play New Zealand on Tuesday, November 22.
