New Delhi [India], Ahead of the clash between India and Bangladesh in the Super 8s of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, former Men in Blue head coach Ravi Shastri praised star batsman Suryakumar Yadav for his magnificent performance against Afghanistan in the previous match.
Suryakumar scored 53 runs off 28 balls at a strike rate of 189.29 against Afghanistan on Thursday. He hit 5 fours and 3 sixes during his time at the crease. The right-hand batsman's knock came to an end in the 17th over after Fazalhaq Farooqi removed him from the crease.

According to a video posted by ICC on Isntagram, Shastri said: "He is one of the few who can turn 360 degrees and hit parts of the ground that are not easy to hit. Like AB de Villiers, he hits balls in unusual positions. and "It confuses many of the players. He is a fantastic player. It is his ability to anticipate, he is very intuitive and supports that challenge when he seeks to improvise and think more than the thrower."
"He puts himself in positions where he makes players bowl to him and that's what makes him special. There's one thing with Surya Kumar Yadav, you know, it takes him very little time to get going and if you look at the strike rates, You know, in 20 balls and hits over 200 most of the time," the former cricketer added.
