Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav played a magnificent innings in the third T20I of the series against Sri Lanka, smashing an unbeaten 112 off just 51 deliveries in Rajkot.

The 32 years-old smashed seven fours and nine sixes en route an explosive knock on Saturday, as the men in blue beat Sri Lanka by 91 runs to clinch the three-match series. Owing to Suryakumar’s brilliant knock, team India put up a massive score of 228/5 in 20 overs; in response, Sri Lanka could only get to 137.


After Suryakumar's fiery knock, he received praise from fans and cricketers alike; the batter's fellow teammate Virat Kohli also shared an Instagram story for Suryakumar, lauding him for his hundred.

Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared Suryakumar's reaction to Virat Kohli's story, and also revealed what he replied to the 34-year-old. Kohli had posted two fire emojis and two applauding emojis as he put a picture of Suryakumar Yadav from his century knock; reacting to the story, the latter smiled and said, “Oh baba, look who has posted a story!”

Furthermore, Suryakumar Yadav, in his reply to Virat Kohli, wrote, “Bhau, bohot saara pyaar. See you soon (Brother, lots of love. See you soon!)”

Following, team India’s 91-run triumph over Sri Lanka in the third T20I, Indian skipper Hardik Pandya lauded Suryakumar Yadav for his explosive batting, saying that the match was Suryakumar versus Sri Lanka.

“Today, it felt like Sri Lanka vs Surya. That is why Suryakumar is such an important player for us in white-ball cricket. The way he changes the game, the shots he plays, it just breaks the morale of the bowler. It helps the other batters as well,” said Pandya in a press conference after the match.

India will return to action on January 10 when the side meets Sri Lanka in the 1st of three ODIs; the series will also see the return of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli.
