IND vs BAN: Suryakumar Yadav Creates History, Becomes 2nd Fastest Indian To Score 2500 T20I Runs

India’s T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav became only the second Indian batter to reach the landmark of 2500 runs in the shortest format of the game on Saturday, October 12 while taking part in the third and final T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Ever since making his India debut back in March 2021, Suryakumar took three years and 212 days to achieve the milestone of 2500 runs. He breached the record of Babar Azam who took five years and 65 days. Surya was unable to give his best in the first two games as he could only make 29 and 8 in Gwalior and Delhi respectively.

In the ongoing third T20I in Hyderabad, Suryakumar showed his finesses as he got to his half-century in just 23 balls. After the Indian team suffered an early blow injury in the form of Abhishek Sharma, Surya alongside Sanju Samson tormented the Bangladesh bowlers all around the park.
