IND vs ENG T20: Golden opportunity for Suryakumar Yadav to surpass Babar Azam & Rohit Sharma for this record

The five-match IND vs ENG T20 series will start from January 22 onwards in Kolkata.

Team India’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav, is on the brink of topping an elite list of batters that includes Babar Azam and former T20I captain Rohit Sharma in the upcoming IND vs. ENG T20 series. Known for his scintillating stroke play, Suryakumar Yadav will lead India in the upcoming IND vs. ENG T20 series.

The swashbuckling middle-order batter has been the backbone of India’s batting lineup in T20Is, amassing 2570 runs at an average of 40.8 and a strike rate of 167.9. At 34 years old, he has been a prolific performer, particularly on home soil, and is set to play a significant role in the series.

Babar Azam’s record in danger

Interestingly, Suryakumar Yadav has already struck one T20I century against England. He now has the opportunity to surpass Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam, who also have one century each against the Three Lions in the shortest format. With his knack for playing blistering knocks, Suryakumar has a golden chance to become the first player to score two T20I centuries against England if he achieves another century in the five-match series. \

Given that most of the matches will be played on batting-friendly tracks, it wouldn’t be surprising if India’s ‘Mr. 360’ achieves this phenomenal milestone.
