A series of three T20I games is currently being played between India and Sri Lanka. The series is currently tied at 1-1. Both teams would like to win the last match and, thereby, win the series. The last match of the series is being played in Rajkot. Indian captain Hardik Pandya decided to bat after winning the toss. There is no change in the Indian team's playing XI. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have replaced Avishka in place of Bhanuka Rajapaksa.
India won the first T20 by 2 runs, while on the other hand, Sri Lanka won by 16 runs in the second T20I. Talking about the third T20, Suryakumar Yadav continued his excellent form and scored the third century of his international T20 career. Notably, Rohit Sharma (4) has scored the maximum number of T20I centuries for India. Suryakumar Yadav has now reached number two on this list.
Earlier in 2022, he had scored T20I centuries against England and New Zealand. He scored a crucial 117 off 55 balls against the English team, while against New Zealand Yadav, he scored 111 off 55 balls.
Suryakumar Yadav is in red-hot form
Suryakumar Yadav played an unbeaten match-winning inning of 112 runs in 51 balls in the third T20I match against Sri Lanka. Thanks to his innings, India scored 228 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. Suryakumar Yadav has become the third batsman to have scored a century thrice in his international T20 career. Earlier this feat was achieved by Glenn Maxwell and Colin Munro.
Rohit Sharma has achieved this feat four times. The 2022 year was a great one for Suryakumar Yadav. He is currently the number one T20I batsman in the world. Here's a look at how fans reacted to Suryakumar Yadav's masterclass knock:
