India vs South Africa: It's difficult to defend when Suryakumar Yadav attacks bowlers, says Wayne Parnell

Suryakumar Yadav's incredibly strong and powerful batting has made him one of the most feared T20 batters at the moment, and South African all-rounder Wayne Parnell says the bowlers will have to stay strong and focussed while tackling him. Surya slammed a 33-ball 50 in India's eight-wicket win over South Africa on a tricky track in the series-opener. "Personally, from what I've watched in the last couple of months, I think he's probably the best T20 batters at the moment. He scores 360-degree, which is very difficult for bowlers to defend," Parnell said on the eve of the second and penultimate T20I of the series. "It's about being strong and focussed on each ball. He's allowed to play good shots, but the other day he was lucky as well. He's certainly a guy whom I enjoyed watching the last couple of months. He's certainly playing good cricket," Parnell said. Parnell insisted that their flop show in the first T20I was an aberration and there's no need to panic before the T20 World Cup in Australia.

Watch: Batter Bamboozled, Gets Bowled Leaving Delivery Outside Off-Stump In County Match

While English pitches are known for the seam and swing movement, County matches often produce some mind-blowing deliveries from spinners. While English leg-spinner Matt Parkinson is often the artist, having provided some contenders for the "ball of the century", the latest entrant to the unofficial competition comes from South African off-spinner Simon Harmer. Bowling for Essex against Northamptonshire in Division 1 of the County Championship, Harmer produced a peach of a delivery that left New Zealand's Will Young completely bamboozled.

India vs South Africa 2nd T20I: Team India grapple with Jasprit Bumrah riddle as it chases rare series win against South Africa

From the tranquility of Thiruvananthapuram, the Team India atmosphere, suddenly, wears a chaotic look -- much like the traffic of Guwahati, thrown out of gear in the midst of Durga Puja rush and construction of flyovers. Bumrah was expected to play a key role in Indian team's campaign in the Australian conditions but his "back stress fracture" has ruled him out of the ICC flagship event, starting in three weeks' time. The ongoing series was originally planned as the final tune-up for Rahul Dravid's team but Bumrah's absence from the remaining two T20Is has now thrown more questions than answers. Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Siraj have been added to the squad as injury replacements but they do not figure in the World Cup-bound squad, as of now.
