In a dazzling display of cricketing prowess, star Indian batter and interim T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, etched his name in the annals of T20I history by notching up his fourth century in the format during India’s third and final T20I against South Africa in Johannesburg. This remarkable feat places him in elite company, alongside compatriot Rohit Sharma and Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who also boast four T20I centuries each. Suryakumar’s breathtaking innings unfolded with precision as he scored 100 runs off just 56 balls, adorned with seven fours and eight sixes, at a formidable strike rate of 178.57. What sets Suryakumar apart is the speed at which he achieved this milestone, accomplishing four T20I centuries in a mere 57 innings, making him the fastest player to reach this remarkable feat.
Not only has Suryakumar matched the century count, but he has also surpassed others in specific statistical categories. His four centuries from the number three position or below in T20Is make him the record-holder in this category, eclipsing the previous mark held by Glenn Maxwell, who boasts three such centuries. The Indian maestro has left a trail of records in his wake, surpassing former English captain Eoin Morgan for the most fifty-plus scores while batting at number four or below in T20Is. Suryakumar has achieved this feat with 15 such knocks in just 39 innings, showcasing his consistency and impact in the middle order.
