Mumbai Indians batsman Suryakumar Yadav performed brilliantly for India during the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Suryakumar got his national call-up based on his amazing domestic cricket performance. Surya has been consistently performing well for Mumbai Indians in the IPL for the last couple of seasons.
Suryakumar played an impactful inning in his international debut match. Notably, Suryakumar Yadav made his debut against England in the T20I series. Meanwhile, Surya once gave an impactful performance in the India tour of the Sri Lanka limited-overs series. The 30-year-old ended the 3-match ODI series with 31*, 53, and 40 runs in his bag.
Also, Surya was named the Player of the series for his exceptional performance. Other than Suryakumar, Prithvi Shaw played explosive innings against Sri Lanka at Colombo.
Indian opener Prithvi Shaw carried his domestic cricket and Indian Premier League form in the series. In the 1st ODI Shaw won the man of the match award for his aggressive 43 runs against Sri Lanka. In the third ODI, Prithvi Shaw missed a well-deserving fifty by just one run.
Still the way Prithvi batted he impressed everybody with his performance. Many cricket fans and pundits lauded Shaw for his aggressive intent toward the game.
After the series victory against Sri Lanka by 2-1 Suryakumar Yadav revealed the word he uses to describe Prithvi Shaw. The word is ‘SHOWSTOPPER’. Prithvi ‘Showstopper’ Shaw suits perfectly for the young opener.
His (Prithvi Shaw) attitude while batting is brilliant: Suryakumar Yadav
While talking to media at a virtual press conference, Suryakumar said:
“I only have one word for him. Whenever I see him bat or whenever I meet him, I only call him a ‘showstopper,’ meaning he is someone whom you love seeing and who loves everyone to have an eye on him.”
“So, whenever he bats, he bats like that. And I would love to see him remain the same. He is batting brilliantly. His attitude while batting is brilliant. He has worked very hard on his fitness. It is really good to see him doing so well,” he added.
Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw will be looking forward to the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka. The India tour of the Sri Lanka T20I series will begin on Sunday, July 25 at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
If Shaw and Suryakumar continue their good run they can definitely get a chance to feature in India’s T20 World Cup 2021 squad.
