Suryakumar Yadav
IND vs ENG: The Indian cricket team will start the 5-match T20I series against England from January 22. The first match will be played in Kolkata. After three years, the T20I match will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. After this, Team India will play matches in Chennai, Rajkot and Pune. The last and 5th match of the series will be played in Mumbai. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India will face the challenge of visiting England. During this time, Suryakumar Yadav will have a great opportunity to create a big record.
Actually, Suryakumar Yadav has been in great form since his debut in T20I. Since making his debut in March 2021, Surya has played 78 T20I matches for India in almost 4 years, scoring 2570 runs. During this period, he has scored 4 centuries and 21 half-centuries with his bat. In the 5-match T20I series against England, Surya will have a great opportunity to perform a feat which no one has been able to do till date.
Opportunity to become the world’s first batsman
Surya has a chance to complete his 150 sixes in T20 International cricket. For this he needs only 5 sixes. If he succeeds in doing so against England, he will become only the second batsman for India after Rohit Sharma to hit 150 or more sixes in T20Is. Surya has hit a total of 145 sixes so far in T20Is for India. Rohit is the batsman who has hit the most sixes in T20I cricket for India. He has 205 sixes in his name in T20 International cricket.

Not only this, if Surya hits a total of 13 sixes in the series against England, then he will become the first non-opener batsman in the world to hit 150 sixes in the history of T20I cricket. So far, no non-opener batsman has been able to touch the figure of 150 sixes in T20I cricket. Surya has a great chance to achieve this position.
