At the moment, India’s Suryakumar Yadav is the center of attention in the world of cricket. Former England captain Nasser Hussain described Yadav as a little timid in the one-day arena but an utter “freak” in the shortest format.
Not unfamiliar with the subtleties of the game, Hussain stated that Suryakumar Yadav is the player the world should be watching out for right now in T20 cricket because, although he is a bit of a freak, he is unsure of when to go, when not to go, and what to do in fifty overs of cricket.
“In the T20 league right now, Suryakumar Yadav is the player everyone should be keeping an eye on. The guy is really strange. Despite his reputation as Mr. 360, there are certain shots he plays that make him seem a little strange, as he struggles to decide whether to take risks and what to do in a fifty-over cricket match. However, when it comes to T20 cricket, he nearly always knows exactly what to do. Additionally, it’s a great game to watch on Sky.
With four centuries and 17 fifties from just 60 games, Suryakumar Yadav dominance in T20I cricket is evident, and in 2022, he secured the coveted No. 1 spot in the ICC Rankings for T20I batsmen. However, the question remains when he enters the 50-over competition.
One of the premier cricketing countries, South Africa: Nasser Hussain
Hussain has gambled on South Africa, and the cricketing world is looking forward to the T20 World Cup, which is set for June in the Caribbean and the USA.
I’m going with South Africa, even though I haven’t given it any thought. Despite not playing so well right now, England are the reigning champions. Can I pick any side I want? It’s in the Caribbean; the West Indies are doing well, and then there’s Pakistan,” stated Hussain.
“In the championship match, I’m rooting for South Africa against England. Here, I am somewhat following (fellow commentator) Simon Doull. He predicted them to win the World Cup before it began (the 50-over format), and that was a bit unexpected,” he continued.
“Well, it’s still South Africa, one of the great sporting and cricketing nations, but I thought that was a good shout from Doully,” Hussain said in response to his thoughts on his country’s performance at the most recent World Cup. They also had some outstanding cricket at that World Cup.”
