England captain Jos Buttler praises Suryakumar Yadav and says he has probably been the ‘batter of the tournament so far.
Jos Buttler Praises Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav in his last match against Zimbabwe scored an unbeaten 61 runs and led India to a total of 186 runs at the end of the 1st innings. Suryakmar Yadav has the highest strike rate in the top 10 highest run-getters of the T20 World Cup 2022 tournament.
He bagged 3 half-centuries at an average of 75. Suryakuar Yadav plays a key role in India’s middle order throughout this tournament.
“Yeah, look, he’s been great to watch, hasn’t he. I think he’s someone who has probably been the batter of the tournament so far in terms of the way you want to watch someone go about it.
I think his biggest strength looks to be the amount of freedom he plays with. I think he’s obviously got all the shots, but he allows himself to play all the shots, as well. He’s got a very free mindset from what I can see.
“But as with any batsman in the world, it takes one chance to create a wicket. We desperately need to find a way to do that, and it would be remiss just to think about him. I think they have some other excellent players, as well,” he said.
During the press conference, Buttler also said that his team will be working hard to ensure that an India vs Pakistan match doesn’t take place in the final.
India will now play their ICC T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final match against England on November 10 in Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. The first semi-final match will be played between New Zealand and Pakistan on November 9 in Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney.
The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will be played on November 13 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.
