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& #39;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& #39;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?
