“Suryakumar Yadav will make people forget all the other batting greats.” Danish Kaneria
In the meantime, the former Pakistan spinner has made a few astounding statements about Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav in one of his recent YouTube videos. Kaneria seemed pretty impressed with Yadav’s remarkable performance in the series-deciding game against Australia.
Danish Kaneria believes that Suryakumar Yadav will make the fans forget other batting veterans. He admitted that SKY has a different and unique way of batsmanship. The 41-year-old went on to compare Yadav with two elite modern-day batters namely Babar Azam and Virat Kohli.
Here’s what Danish Kaneria said:
“I have been saying this for a while now, Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best in the business. With his 360-degree repertoire, I would say that the sky is high. The way he bats, it’s like he is announcing himself. He was outstanding in the third T20I.”
“He has a different way of playing and he is surely going to be a very big player. The way he bats, he will make people forget all the other batting greats. Yes, Kohli will score a lot of runs and Babar will be very successful, but Yadav will leave everyone behind,”
Suryakumar Yadav shined in the Australia series-decider:
Surykaumar Yadav was awarded the ‘Player of the match’ title for his match-winning knock in the recently-concluded T20I series-decider against Australia. Yadav scored a quickfire half-century under pressure in the run-chase, empowering the national side to achieve a triumph in the series.
Suryakumar Yadav is now a No.2 Ranked T20i batsman in the world.
