Suryakumar Yadav was India’s main man in the third T20I against West Indies. Chasing 165 runs to win, the right-handed made a valuable contribution of 76 runs off 44 balls to lead India to a comfortable win by 7 wickets.
SKY was promoted in the batting order by Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma in the ongoing series. He opened the innings with captain Rohit and after failing to get going in the first two games, he finally justified his promotion.
He became the second player after Virat Kohli to slam 50+ scores at 3 or more different batting positions in T20Is of an year. Virat is not a part of the squad.
