Rohit Sharma: “Suryakumar’s fearless nature is why, sky is the limit for him.”
During this year’s Twenty20 World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav has been playing at a very high level. He has been playing at a level that is superior to that of the more experienced players, and his strike rate is the highest of any player in the Indian batting order.

His strokeplays that cover the entire ground leaves his audience in amazement. As was shown during the Super 12s match against South Africa, he plays his cricket and helps boost the team’s scores when the team is in a precarious position. He is a primary contributor, and one of the primary reasons overall, for India’s achievements in the T20 World Cup.

Suryakumar Yadav has a strike rate of 193 and has scored 225 runs so far in the competition. He has three half-centuries from the five games he has played in. The middle-order batsman has shown a fearless type of cricket with his batting, and this was the point that Rohit Sharma emphasised when applauding him at the pre-match press conference. Rohit made the funny comment that although though he doesn’t bring any bags with him into the game, he definitely does have a lot of luggage.
So grateful for all the love and support, it motivates me to keep working hard.💪 https://t.co/A0TLyebCwU

“That’s probably Suryakumar’s nature and that’s where his fearlessness comes from. He is a sort of guy who does not carry any baggage with him. Not his suitcases, he has a lot of suitcases. He loves his shopping. When it comes to carry that extra pressure, I do not think he has it in him and you can see it in how he plays. He has been playing like that or a year now,” the Indian captain told reporters.
“You can judge the kind of character he is. I do not know if you have heard him in interviews, he likes to play in the same fashion, whether we are 10 for 2 or 100 for 2. He likes to go out and express himself. That is probably the reason he was in the team in the last World Cup. We did not have a great World Cup, but looking at what he has done since the last World Cup, as you say, sky is the limit for him. He has shown great maturity, he has taken pressure off a lot of the guys and it rubs off when they bat around him. We do understand his game very well,” he also added.
