The Twenty20 World Cup in 2022 brought out Suryakumar Yadav’s absolute best performance as a batter. The standout performer for Team India finished the competition ranked third in the tournament’s run scoring rankings with 239 runs to his name across six games with an average of 59.75 runs per game. In addition to this, one of the impressive statistics of his performance was the fact that his strike rate was almost 190 throughout the competition. The player, who contributed significantly to the strengthening of India’s middle order at the world event by hitting three fifty-plus scores, Although Suryakumar played exceptionally well during the mega event that took place in Australia, he was not as effective in the two crucial matches that were played against Pakistan and England. Wasim Jaffer, a former batsman for India, is of the opinion that those particular matches were the ones in which the team needed him the most and that he should have performed.
“If I have to be a little bit critical, I will say that in the two games where we needed him the most, against Pakistan and England, he did not come through for us. I will be talking about this from a critical perspective, but other than that, he has been outstanding all throughout the year “Jaffer revealed his thoughts to CricTracker.
During the first match of India’s T20 World Cup campaign, which was played against Pakistan, Suryakumar was able to contribute 15 runs to the team’s total. However, he was only able to contribute 14 runs during the team’s semi-final match against England.
“I get the impression that he is the wild card in our Indian batting. When Suryakumar Yadav performs, regardless of who we have at positions 1, 2, 3, or 5, 6, the score will only reach 180 or 200 if and when he does so.
When this occurs, we have the impression that our batting as a whole has failed. The value that Suryakumar Yadav contributes to the Indian batting lineup might be summarised as follows: “added Wasim Jaffer.
