IND v SA 2022: Cricket fraternity reacts as Suryakumar Yadav's belligerent onslaught takes India to 237/3

This was India's 4th highest T20I total, as Suryakumar made 61 in 22 balls.

The Barsapara cricket ground in Guwahati, Assam hosted the second T20I between India and South Africa on October 2^nd and South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first.

The Indian team was unchanged, while Lungi Ngidi replaced Tabraiz Shamsi in the Proteas XI. This was also Rohit Sharma’s 400^th T20 match and he became the first Indian to reach this milestone.

He also played a good knock at the start, scoring 43 in 37 balls with 7 fours and 1 six, adding 96 runs for the first wicket with KL Rahul, who smoked 57 in just 28 balls with 5 fours and 4 sixes. When Keshav Maharaj got rid of both batters, they didn’t imagine the hurricane that was coming for them.

Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav then went after the Proteas bowlers from ball one and in the fifth gear and didn’t let off the pressure. They added 102 runs for the third wicket in just 42 balls with Suryakumar making 61 in 22 balls with 5 fours and 5 sixes and completed his 1000 runs in T20Is as well.
