Top 5 innings by Suryakumar Yadav

117 vs England (2022)

The middle order batter scored his first century in T20 matches against England. Suryakumar played out an innings on a surface where no India batter breached the 30-run barrier. Looking to chase a difficult 216-run target against England, SKY ended up with a score of 117-runs from just 55 deliveries at Trent Bridge. While wickets kept falling at one end, Yadav kept his calm and continued to push the pressure back on the hosts with his swashbuckling innings.

57 runs vs England (2021) 

The 32 year old stole the show against a strong England team who were touring India with the middle order taking on a bowling attack spearheaded by Jofra Archer.
