As a result of his brilliant form, Suryakumar Yadav has made significant progress in the ICC T20 rankings.
It was Babar Azam who praised Surya after Pakistan’s Mohammed Rizwan lauded the Indian middle-order batsman. Pakistan’s Babar was asked about the ICC T20 batting competition after Pakistan’s game against Bangladesh at Christchurch in the ongoing Tri-series. In spite of the rankings providing a boost to the players’ confidence, Babar admitted that it is the success of the team that matters most.
“As an individual, dekhiye main baat nehin kar sakta, aur baat karna bhi nehin chahiye kyunki team first. Koshish yehi rehti hain ki team ko pehle jitaya jae. Ranking aapko always confidence deti hain. “When top main aate hain, ek dream hota hain, and when aap achieves, ek relief milta hain,” he said.
“Suryakumar Yadav is a good player. Jis tarah se woh khelte hain, mujhe bohot pasand he. Magar jaha tak cheezen he and different tarikes se dekha jae, kyunki middle order and top order mukhtalif cheezen hain,” Rizwan had said last week.
With 853 points, Md Rizwan still holds the top spot. Babar comes in at No.3 with 808 points, followed by Suryakumar with 838 points.
In the opening match of the T20 WC, India and Pakistan will face off, and the Indian will have the chance to edge the Pakistan opener to the top spot. In terms of cricket calendar events, it is without a doubt the biggest. At the Asia Cup, Pakistan defeated India. In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India may have a slight advantage over Babar Azam and co.
