PALLEKELE, JULY 27 :  In a fascinating display of cricketing prowess, Suryakumar Yadav on Saturday etched his name in the annals of T20 International history with a scintillating performance that has set the stage ablaze.

With his latest half-century, Suryakumar has stormed past Glenn Maxwell to claim the record for the most fifties scored in T20Is at a staggering strike rate of 200 or more—his ninth such innings, leaving Maxwell’s eight in the dust.

But that’s not all! The dynamic Suryakumar has also catapulted himself into the fourth spot on the all-time T20I sixes leaderboard, smashing his way to 135 maximums.

In a thrilling move, he’s edged out Glenn Maxwell, who trails just behind with 134 sixes. Only the mighty Rohit Sharma, the powerful Martin Guptill, and the explosive Jos Buttler now stand between him and the top of the charts.
And if that wasn’t enough to get fans on their feet, Suryakumar is making waves as the new captain of the Indian team. In his very first series at the helm, he has announced his leadership in style with a breathtaking half-century in the opening match and leading India to a win.(UNI)
