It’s as if there’s nothing Suryakumar Yadav can’t do. However delicate the situation, tricky the conditions or demanding the bowling might be, he has all the answers.
On Sunday night, with India losing their way slightly after a second successive half-century by KL Rahul, Suryakumar seemed to have his task cut out. In a manner that has become second nature to him, he tore into Zimbabwe, producing one of the innings of this T20 World Cup to muscle India into the semi-finals with a comprehensive 71-run victory.
