Now Suryakumar's ODI stats stand at: 659 runs in 29 innings at an average of 28.65 and a strike rate of 105.60, with four half-centuries in 27 innings.
"There was a moment where Suryakumar played a shot towards Kohli and then two had a stare-off where the former asserted once again that he doesn’t fear anything or anyone.”
Team India coach Ravi Shastri took to twitter to laud the cricketer after his 43-ball unbeaten 79-run knock in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore that saw his side record a five-wicket victory.
After bowlers pulled things back by restricting RCB to 164/6 despite a good start, Suryakumar Yadav, who was ignored for the Australian Tour, scored an unbeaten 79 from 43 balls to steer his team home.
