Suryakumar Yadav thrives in the high-stakes batting phase between overs 7 and 15, where field restrictions challenge even seasoned players. The world's No. 1 T20I batter showcased his prowess with a stellar 28-ball 53, lifting India to 181 for 8 in their T20 World Cup super 8 opener against Afghanistan.
Reflecting on his role, Yadav said, 'That's what I have practised. I enjoy batting from overs 7-15 because that's the most difficult phase where the opposition bowlers look to control things. I like to take charge in that phase.'
After early setbacks, including the loss of skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Yadav and Rishabh Pant's partnership helped stabilize the innings. Despite Rashid Khan's twin strikes, India's record remains strong, buoyed by Yadav's exceptional form.
