Suryakumar Yadav - Impact in IPL 2020: Thread
(1) One among the only two Indian players to average 40+ against both pace and spin in IPL 2020 (Min.50 balls faced) - Sheer Quality
(2) One among the only five players to have a SR of 140+ against both pace and spin (Min.50 balls faced) - Sustained aggression against both bowling types.
(3) One among the only 4 players to have a SR of 150+ while batting 1st and 2nd (Min. 100 runs) - Whatever be the situation, the approach remains the same.
(4) Boundary Hitting Range: 30% behind the wicket and 27% through the covers - Not sure how many Indian players have such unique boundary scoring areas.
(5) The only player batting at #3 & #4 to have all these: Avg of 40+, SR of 140+ and Boundary frequency within 6 balls against both spin and pace - Elite requirements of a middle order T20 batsman.
(6) 5th leading run scorer in IPL since 2018. The top four in that list are regulars in India's T20I squad.
350+ runs, Avg of 30+ and SR of 130+ in all seasons since 2018 -
Not one, two but consistent throughout the last 3 IPL seasons.
(7) In all the positions that he has batted since IPL 2018, he has averaged 30-plus (Opening, #3 and #4) - Talk about Adaptability.
(8) Constant improvement in his game against spin - Dot% of 33 in 2018, 30 in 2019 and 19 in 2020)
He's at the form of his life in T20s in terms of consistency, acceleration, dominating different bowling types, reading the situations and most importantly has the 360-degree hitting range. What more should a player do to get into the national T20 squad?
