T20 World Cup 2022: Best XI of the tournament
There were certain players who lighted the T20 extravaganza with their blistering performances.
4. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has taken international cricket by storm from the time he made his debut. The 32-year-old has taken the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and put on an exhibition of his 360-degree strokeplay. He has featured in 40 T20Is and aggregated 1284 runs at a staggering strike rate of 179.07.
The swashbuckling batter stamped his authority at the grandest stage as he hammered top-drawer bowling line-ups for fun. Suryakumar smashed 239 runs in six games and that too at an amazing strike rate of 189.68, with three half-centuries. He was India’s X-factor in the competition and was instrumental in the Men in Blue reaching the semi-finals.
Among the glorious knocks Suryakumar played at the World Cup, the one that stood out was his half-century against South Africa in Perth. On a pace-rich surface where other batters struggled for runs, the ace batter stuck to his natural game and played a brilliant counter-attacking knock of 68 runs off 40 deliveries.
