Suryakumar Yadav will play a big part for the Indian team in the tournament. He has been one of the most consistent performers of India since his debut. He recently scored a century in the 3rd T20I against England and became just the 5th Indian batter to score a T20I hundred.
Surya has some brilliant T20I numbers under his belt, where he has scored 672 T20I runs in 23 games at a S/R of 175.46. He has scored 5 half-centuries and 1 century in the process.
