What did Surya say after scoring a century?
Suryakumar Yadav said after the century that he was very happy with this innings. After the innings, he said in an interview to the broadcasters, ‘I am happy with the way the innings started. The captain showed faith in the batsmen by winning the toss and deciding to bat first.
Surya’s specialty is playing 360 degree shots. Asked if he decides which short to play in advance, team vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav said, ‘Some shots are pre-decided, but these are the shots I have been playing for the last one year and I don’t do anything differently. The form of 2022 is gone, it’s a fresh start in 2023 and I hope I can continue with good form.’
Third century in T20Is
This is Suryakumar Yadav’s third century in T20 international cricket. He scored a century in England last year. After the T20 World Cup, he also scored a century on the tour of New Zealand. Now he has scored his third century in India. Surya is only the 5th batsman to score three or more centuries in T20 International cricket.
Apart from him, Rohit Sharma has 4 while New Zealand’s Colin Munro, Australia’s Glenn Maxwell and Czech Republic’s Sabavun Dviji have scored three centuries. He completed his century in 45 balls. This is his fastest century and second fastest for India.
