In his last Twenty20 International as a stand-in skipper, Suryakumar Yadav made a century, in Johannesburg against South Africa last December. On Saturday, in his first T20I outing as full-time captain, the Mumbaikar threatened an encore with a typically explosive innings until his rampaging knock was cut short
by the classy Mateesha Pathirana.
Suryakumar’s blazing 58, full of typically innovative strokes, came on the back of a dynamic opening salvo from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, who realised 50 by the end of the fourth over and blasted their way to 74 when Gill was dismissed off the last ball of the Powerplay.
