‘Suryakumar Yadav has the ability to outperform and surpass Virat Kohli and Babar Azam’- Danish Kaneria

Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria believes that India’s Suryakumar Yadav has the potency to overtake Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as one of the finest batters in white-ball cricket in the coming years. Kaneria went on to say that Suryakumar is one of the strongest batters in the game right now, and his 360-degree batting attributes are second to none.

Suryakumar Yadav of India is having a fantastic run in T20I cricket. Surya, India’s highest-ranked T20I batter, was once again the centerpiece of India’s victory, scoring 69 off 36 balls to help India defeat Australia by six wickets in the final match of the three-match T20I series. Surya shared a century with Virat Kohli (63) to help India rebound from an early setback and set up a series win. During the deciding game, India’s run chase against Australia began unsteadily as they managed to lose openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma early on. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, stabilised the ship for the hosts, stringing together an impressive 104-run partnership and catapulting India to victory.

The Pakistani spinner decided to take to YouTube to describe his thoughts on India’s middle-order batter and his recent performances. He stated that Yadav has thrived as a player and possesses everything it requires to be a top batter.

“I’ve been saying it for a long time: Suryakumar Yadav is one of the greatest. I’d say the sky is the limit with his 360-degree bag of tricks. It’s as if he’s proclaiming himself with the way he bats,” Kaneria said on his YouTube channel.v”He was phenomenal in the third T20I,” he added.

Suryakumar Yadav has the ability to defeat Virat Kohli and Babar Azam in this format of the game, according to Kaneria. “He has a unique style of play and will undoubtedly become a major player. People will forget about all the other batting greats because of the way he bats. Yes, Kohli will score a lot of runs, and Babar will have a lot of success, but Yadav will blow everyone away,” he remarked.
