‘Surya has come a long way, never saw this happening”
Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 09 November 2022
NEW DELHI: The best batter on show in the T20 World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav, may call the growing comparisons with AB de Villiers pre-mature but the original 'Mr 360 degree' South African finds them quite fair.
‘Surya has come a long way, never saw this happening”

Surya has set the World Cup on fire with 225 runs from five games, including three fifties at a staggering strike rate of 193.97.

He has left the experts and fans in awe with his incredible range of strokes. The 32-yearold, who is a late entrant to international cricket, has made batting look ridiculously look easy even in the toughest of conditions, like India experienced against South Africa in Perth.

Amid constant talk of his ABD-like playing style, Surya recently said there can only be one 'Mr 360, but de Villiers himself begged to differ.

"I am very happy for Surya.

I think he has come a very long way. I never saw this happening, the way he is playing.
