Suryakumar Yadav, the top short-format player in the world and the star T20I hitter for India, turned 33 on Thursday.
At age 31 when he made his international cricket debut against England in March 2021, Suryakumar is a late bloomer in the game.
The beginning of Suryakumar’s international career, a sizzling ‘Calypso Shot’ on a ball by one of the top speedsters in the world, Jofra Archer, put the entire cricketing world in amazement. He became the new definition of “audacity” from that point forward.

He displayed his collection of astounding, jaw-dropping, brazen 360-degree photos all over the park, in various locations throughout the world, over the following two years.
The outcome is a T20I career to be envious of. He has so far scored 1,841 runs at an average of 46.02 with a strike rate of 172.70 in 53 games and 50 innings. In his T20I career, he has scored three hundreds and 15 fifties, with a top score of 117 against England at home. It’s uncommon for T20Is to include a combination of consistency, centuries, and explosiveness.
