Suryakumar Yadav

The Mumbaikar had an amazing debut T20 series against England in the month of March. Suryakumar hit the first ball that he faced in international cricket for a six, becoming the first Indian to do so in a T20 International. He even went to get a half-century on debut.

Virat Kohli praised the batsman, calling him the ‘X-Factor’ in the team. With Surya’s presence in the middle overs, India can set up for the push they usually go for in the death overs. He will very much start in the playing XI for India in the T20I’s.
