Suryakumar Yadav has been in sensational form in the T20 format and is the leading run-scorer across the globe for the year 2022. The right-handed batsman is leading the charge for the national side in the presence and absence of India's stalwarts.
The Mumbai batter has continued his fine form in the ongoing T20 series in New Zealand. In the second game, India were struggling after a slow start. When Yadav walked in, India had amassed 36 runs for the loss of one wicket after 5.1 overs. However, he didn't take a lot of time to change the complexion of the game.
Suryakumar Yadav changed gears in the second half of the Indian innings and went on to score a sensational ton. He produced his maiden ton while playing a unbeaten knock of 111 from 51 balls, including 7 sixes. Following India's win, Yadav was adjudged “Man of the Match” for his stupendous innings.
Not only the fans were happy but Suryakumar Yadav’s parents were elated too. Yadav's sister also shared the story on Instagram to celebrate the occasion. In the video, Suryakumar's mother could be seen brushing her hand on his son's face on the TV screen. Suryakumar Yadav’s father was, apparently, laughing at his mother’s antics.
