WATCH: Suryakumar Yadav leaves fans in shock with his iconic ‘supla’ shot, Ravi Ashwin gets thrilled too

In the ongoing five-match T20I series, Suryakumar Yadav-led India faces Australia at Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati for the third game. After winning two back-to-back matches, India is looking to seal the series in Guwahati. Meanwhile, Australia is looking for a win to stay alive in the series.

After being forced to bat first, India posted another daunting total. Despite losing two quick wickets to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan, India continued to hammer the Aussie bowling line-up. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, along with Ruturaj Gaikwad, added 57 runs for the third wicket and gave India a steady platform. Suryakumar, in his inning, scored 39 runs off 29 balls with the help of five fours and two sixes.

However, one of his favourite Supla shots helped him get rid of a rusty start. Suryakumar smacked a beautiful ramp and shot off Nathan Ellis. In the fifth over of the game, Suryakumar Yadav smacked two beautiful sixes on the leg side, including one over the fine leg, to entertain the spectators. His shot soon went viral on social media, as fans found it amazing.
