IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma’s old tweet for Suryakumar Yadav goes Viral
India might have lost the 3rd T20 against England, but Suryakumar Yadav’s heroic knock of 117 in just 55 balls grabbed a lot of eyeballs. This knock will definitely be remembered for a long long time and it has likely cemented a spot in India’s T20 World Cup team for SKY. Now Team India skipper Rohit Sharma’s decade old tweet has gone viral. After the BCCI awards in 2011, Rohit via a tweet had said that Suryakumar Yadav is the player to watch out for in the future.
Maiden Ton
This was Suryakumar’s 19th T20 Match in international cricket and he made it a memorable one with his debut century in this format. He hammered the english bowlers all over the park and his knock included 14 fours and 6 sixes. When he got dismissed, other players could not get the job done and India were restricted to 198/9 while chasing 216.
Suryakumar Yadav achieves this feat
Suryakumar completed his ton in just 48 deliveries and became the 5th Indian batsman to score a century in T20 cricket. Other Indian cricketers who have scored a century are Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda. While chasing a target, Suryakumar is the 3rd Indian batter after Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to score a ton.
