ENG vs IND 2022: Suryakumar Yadav has grown from strength since he has joined the team – Rohit Sharma

Indian captain Rohit Sharma was full of praise on Suryakumar Yadav after the latter scored an unbelievable knock of 117 runs off just 55 balls in the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Sunday after the visitors lost by 17 runs.

Rohit said that SKY has grown from strength to strength since he joined the team. The right-hander has definitely taken giant strides as a batter and has grown in confidence.

SKY was able to hit the ground running against the England bowlers and played aggressively from the get-go. The right-hander was able to score all around the ground and played according to the field. The Mumbai Indians batter scored 14 fours and six sixes in his magnum opus knock.

SKY kept India in the game till the 19th over despite the visitors losing wickets at regular intervals.

However, Suryakumar didn’t get any support from the other end and his efforts went in vain. Shreyas Iyer scored 28 off 23 balls and he was the second-highest run-getter for the visitors. SKY added 119 runs with Iyer but he did the lion’s share of the scoring.

SKY has shown that he can play all around the ground, which is his biggest strength. The right-hander can also score his runs at a brisk pace and he is an asset to the team.

Rohit Sharma said in the post-match presentation, “I thought it was a fantastic chase although we fell short. We are proud of the fight. Surya was magnificent to watch. I have been watching him for a while now. Loves this format, has wide range of shots. He has grown from strength to strength since we got him into the squad. They put us under pressure with their batting. Decent partnership put us on the back foot. You back yourself to get this score. We were clear in trying out guys if they can bowl 4 overs. We have things to work on as a group. Hope so. So far things are pretty good. We don’t want to sit on laurels. We want to get better every game. Today was a great learning for us to come out and bowl. And to bat as well. Games like this will teach you.”

There is no doubt that Suryakumar Yadav is going to be a vital cog for India in the T20I team and he is going to add value in the middle order. India and England will now face in the first ODI which will be played on Tuesday.
