Following the likes of Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav has become the fifth Indian cricketer to score a T20I century.
In what was his maiden international century, it came in the form of a valiant knock bringing India back into a 216-run chase after they had lost the top-order cheaply inside the powerplay.
An innings worthy of being remembered for a winning cause, it wasn’t to be as Yadav’s dismissal in the penultimate over of the match left India with needing 25 runs off seven balls.

A 17-run loss didn’t hurt India for they had already gained an unassailable series lead but the crowing point of this match was Yadav gaining confidence on the back of reaching the three-figure mark for the first time in international cricket.
A stroke-filled 117 (55) with the help of 14 fours and six sixes at a strike rate of 212.72 in the recently concluded third T20I against England in Nottingham has set a precedent with respect to how the team needs to bat in this format.
