By Sabyasachi Chowdhury: Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar was involved regardless of India topping the factors desk of their T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Group after beating Zimbabwe by 71 runs on the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

In truth, India was the one workforce from each teams to have superior to the semis on the again of 4 wins within the Super 12. However, Gavaskar sensed a slight hazard for the Men in Blue going to the semi-final.

On Thursday, November 10, India are set to lock horns with Jos Buttler’s England within the second semi-final on the Adelaide Oval.

One man who has been profiting from the distinction for India is Suryakumar Yadav. Even as Virat Kohli is the main run-scorer for India, it’s Suryakumar, who’s injecting all of the momentum into India’s innings together with his fearless show of strokeplay.

Gavaskar mentioned that if Suryakumar falters, India may find yourself with a rating of round 140-150, as an alternative of 170-180. The 32-year-old batter has racked up 225 runs at a strike-rate of 193.96.

Gavaskar was astonished by the extent of consistency Yadav has proven whereas enjoying at an unimaginable strike-rate.

SURYA, A THREAT?

Kohli is presently the main run-scorer within the India vs England T20Is. In 19 matches, the 34-year-old batter has scored 589 runs at a mean of 39.26 and a strike-rate of 136.65.

However, if one appears at Suryakumar’s numbers, one wouldn’t be blamed for believing that he can be a large risk to England within the upcoming conflict.

It was towards England itself that Suryakumar made his T20I debut again in March 2021. In solely six matches versus the British workforce, the Mumbai-born batter has notched 260 runs at a mean of 52 and a strike-rate of 195.48.

In truth, in T20Is between England and India, Yadav has the very best strike-rate, displaying how a lot of a pressure he has been within the shortest format of the sport.

The recollections of the 48-ball hundred that he hit are fairly recent in our minds. Although the knock at Trent Bridge in Nottingham got here in a dropping trigger, Suryakumar garnered a great deal of reward from the cricket fraternity.

It goes with out saying that after Suryakumar will get his eyes, he’s a troublesome nut to crack. He can play photographs throughout the bottom and, on his day, could make a mockery of the perfect of bowling lineups.

The query is, can he repeat the identical towards England?

If numbers are taken under consideration, he undoubtedly can!
