2023.12.15
Suryakumar Yadav hammered a sensational ton against South Africa in the third and final T20I.
India finished their innings on a mammoth score of 201/7 in the allotted 20 overs.
Cricket fans were in awe of Suryakumar Yadav’s power-hitting skill as he tore through a spectacular century in the third Twenty20 International between South Africa and India at the storied New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
The world of cricket saw a historic moment as Suryakumar equaled the T20I century record held by legendary players Glenn Maxwell and Rohit Sharma, who each had an outstanding record of four hundreds in the game’s shortest format.
Asked to bat first, India set a formidable target of 201 for South Africa, powered by a stellar performance from their batters. Yashasvi Jaiswal provided a solid foundation, but it was Suryakumar who stole the show with a breathtaking knock of 100 runs off just 56 balls. His innings included a stunning array of shots, featuring seven fours and eight towering sixes, as he single-handedly dismantled the South African bowling attack.
A century and a half from India’s master batsman
By matching the T20I century mark held by Rohit and Maxwell, Suryakumar cemented his spot in the record books with this blistering century. With four centuries between them, the trio is suddenly unstoppable, demonstrating their power and influence in the exciting T20 format.
It is important to note that Suryakumar has had an incredible surge in Twenty20 International cricket. He is presently ranked first among T20I batsmen, which is a testimonial to his skill and consistency in the game’s shortest format.
