#1 Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav continued his dream run in T20Is in 2023 as well. In 2022, Suryakumar had a sensational consistency as a batter. In 2023, the star batter looked in more control as he still batted with aggression, although not at the level he used to a year before. It was a year where he was in doubt regarding his form in ODIs. Yet, he always performed well for the team in his favourite format. Even in the IPL, Yadav was dangerous as a batter. His strike rate is always ideal in T20Is and proves how a batter can win matches by being consistently aggressive.
Suryakumar played a total of 18 T20Is in the year 2023. In 17 innings, Yadav scored 733 runs at a batting average of 48.86, at a sensational strike rate of 155.95, including 2 hundred and 5 fifty-plus scores. The right-handed was the second-highest run scorer in the format in 2023, and the highest run scorer for India in the year. Suryakumar scored a hundred against Sri Lanka and South Africa in the year and helped India to win a lot of matches. In total, Yadav registered 7 fifty-plus scores, which is a lot in the shortest format of international cricket.
