Since his first game, Suryakumar has been India's best batter in the shortest form of the game. The right-handed batter has hit a couple of great balls in his short career.
After scoring 51 runs at a strike rate of more than 200 against the Netherlands, he helped India get out of a tough spot against South Africa.
The subcontinent team was in danger of being bowled out for less than 100 because they had only 50 runs on the board and 5 wickets down. But SKy kept going after the other team's bowlers and scored runs at a rate of 170.
His 68 came off just 40 balls, laced with 6 fours and 3 sixes on the fastest track in the world. South African pacers troubled everyone, except Surya was unfaced, went for his strokes, and took the team to 133/9 in 20 overs.
Indian fans praised him for his sensational batting.
A Lone Warrior's knock!π
