SKY touches the pinnacle. With this purple a patch, it was only a formality. But here it is, Aapla Dada, has officially become the number one batter in T20Is as per the ICC’s latest rankings released on Wednesday (November 2). 

In 2022, Suryakumar Yadav has amassed 935 runs in 26 innings at an average of 42.50 with a century and eight fifties to his name, and with the last two knocks of 51 off 25 against the Nethelands and 68 off 40 against South Africa at Perth, has safely jumped up two spots in the ICC T20I batsmen rankings, leapfrogging Mohammad Rizwan and Devon Conway. You cannot make a list of five of his best knocks either, because his next, will be better. Go, try.

Surya becomes only the second Indian to occupy the top spot in the ICC rankings after Virat Kohli. Oh he’s in some crazy form, scoring runs for run, even on the toughest of batting conditions, against the toughest of bowlers. He’s now sitting pretty on 863 points, and the quest to become the first player to 900 points is only a matter of time. Come on SKY, let’s push the limit!
