Suryakumar Yadav has been an unstoppable force in T20I cricket in the last few months. In July, he hit his maiden T20I hundred in the game against England. In the 20-20 World Cup 2022, he has the third-highest run-getter. The right-hander carried his form in the second T20I against New Zealand last week. He scored his second hundred in the format batting in the middle order.
Meanwhile, reacting to the innings, Australia’s Glenn Maxwell revealed what he did while watching the scorecard on a website. The all-rounder said that he sent a screenshot of the scorecard to his T20I skipper Aaron Finch. Maxwell said that the 20-20 World Cup 2021 winning skipper could believe what he saw on the screengrab
“I saw the scorecard from the first innings. I screenshot it and sent to straight to Finchy and I said ‘What is going on here?’ This bloke is batting on a different planet. I said, ‘Look at everyone else’s scores and look at this bloke that’s 111 off 50’. So the next day I watched the full replay on Kayo and watched the whole innings,” Maxwell said.
Suryakumar Yadav is so much better than anyone else: Glenn Maxwell
The two-time World Cup winner added that the embarrassing part about Yadav’s innings is that the latter is much better than others.
“The embarrassing thing is he’s so much better than everyone else. It’s actually hard to watch. It’s like ‘Ohh god!'” Maxwell said. “No one we’ve got is close to that. Suryakumar Yadav is doing it in such a bizarre, ungainly way where he’s hitting the middle of the bat by just like stepping across, deciding to sweep somebody who’s bowling 145 from off the wicket on the other side. And then just putting his head down walking down chewing some gum, glove tap, bat tap and off he goes again and does it again.”
“He’s playing some of the most ridiculous shots I’ve ever seen. He’s doing it stupidly consistently. It’s just actually a bit hard to watch because it makes everyone else look so much worse for not being able to do that,” he added.
