(Reuters) - Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav said his partnership with Virat Kohli had been forged by mutual respect for each other's style after the pair guided their team to a 56-run win over the Netherlands in the Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday.
India's Suryakumar Yadav will enter the T20 World Cup as the second best batter in the format following an update of the ICC Men's Player Rankings issued on Wednesday. Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan (861 rating points) has extended his lead at the top of the T20I batter rankings after yet another consistent showing during the tri-series in New Zealand, while Suryakumar (838) is still second ahead of the blockbuster clash between the two neighbours at the MCG on Sunday. KL Rahul (13), Virat Kohli (15) and skipper Rohit Sharma (16) are all static in the latest update.
One of the finest batters in modern-day cricket at present, Suryakumar Yadav looked in full swing as India took on Australia in the warm-up match ahead of the start of the T20 World Cup 2022. Surya scored a 33-ball fifty in the match before he got out. But now, a video has surfaced on social media where the attacking batter could be heard telling the non-striker Ravichandran Ashwin that he wasn't feeling like hitting the ball anymore. On the very next delivery, Surya departed.

His knock helped India post more than 180 runs on the board and he was finally dismissed by Kane Richardson in the final over of the innings.
The eyes of all cricket fans are focussed on just one direction right now - the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Most of the teams have already reached Down Under as the action begins on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is one of the heavyweights going into the tournament, however, it had to tackle few injury problems in the buildup to the marquee event. India will be without star allrounder Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Jasprit Bumrah - both of whom were injured. While all other top players are fit, Suresh Raina, member of India's 2011 50-over World Cup-winning team, gave his take on the player who will 'control the game' for the 'Men in Blue'.
