Surya Kumar Yadav’s Brilliance: Equals Kohli’s Old Record

India is one of the biggest cricketing nations in the world and no words can describe the craze the sport has among fans. When there is any crucial match everything comes to a standstill. Cricketers enjoy massive popularity. Over the decades India has been a batting-obsessed team.

In every generation, we get to see a gem of a player. For one and a half decades it's Run Machine Virat Kohli who has been brilliant. With his batting brilliance, he added many records to his name and he is the second-highest century-getter in World Cricket.

Now a star player from India surpassed Virat Kohli in an elite record. Surya Kumar Yadav aka SKY has been terrific in the T20 format. His ability to smash the balls all over the park makes him lethal in death overs. We have seen his capabilities many times.

Virat Kohli aka Run Machine has a record of reaching the 2,000 runs milestone in T20s. He took just 60 matches and 56 innings. The record was intact for over a decade as no player came close to the record.

It required a special player to match the record and Surya Kumar Yadav pulled it off. What makes the record special is that SKY took one match less to equal this. SKY played the same number of innings and equaled this.

We would have seen SKY reaching the milestone in less number of matches had he lived up to the expectations in the previous matches. No matter what, SKY showed his brilliance and equaled Virat Kohli’s record he made 13 years back.

T20s are the format SKY excels in as he comes in the end and shows brilliance in the death overs. With the same skills, he equaled the record earlier set up by Run Machine Virat Kohli
