"Khud Ko Ullu Banaya": Suryakumar Yadav's Witty Take On T20I Plan That Got Snubbed

Trailing 0-2 in the five-match series, India defeted West Indies in the third T20I to reduce the deficit, ahead of this weekend's double-header in Lauderhill, California. Chasing a target of 160, the visitors brushed off the early dismissals of openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill to win the game by seven wickets. Suryakumar Yadav was the wrecker-in-chief, smashing 83 off just 44 balls, while Tilak Varma maintained his dream run in international cricket, hitting an unbeaten 49 off 37 balls.

Putting aside the chatter around his form, Suryakumar Yadav produced a match-winning show for the Indian cricket team, scoring a 44-ball 83 in the 3rd T20I against West Indies. Surya's knock played a crucial role in India's triumph, with the win also keeping the team alive in the bid to win the 5-match series. En route to his match-winning knock, Surya completed 100 sixes in T20I cricket, becoming the fastest Indian to complete the landmark.

"He Can Hit Me. I Know He's Going To Hear This": Hardik Pandya Dares West Indies Star

Having seen his captaincy come in the line of fire, Hardik Pandya got the team to click in the third T20I against West Indies, helping the tourists pull one back after losing the first two matches to the hosts. India's batting unit has courted the most criticism, especially for its long tail. But, Hardik, on Tuesday, made it clear that his team will continue to play with seven batters as he doesn't want to compromise on the bowling front. As far as Team India's strategy for the 3rd T20I is concerned, Hardik was spot on, especially with regards to the handling of an in-form Nicholas Pooran.

"To Be Honest, My ODI Numbers Are...": Suryakumar Yadav's Blunt Confession

Suryakumar Yadav emerged as the hero for Indian team as Hardik Pandya's men bounced back to beat West Indies in the third T20I, after losing the first two. Surya, who scored a 44-ball 83 in the match on Tuesday, spoke to the media in the post-match press conference where questions about his ODI form also emerged. The explosive batter that his numbers in the 50-over format have been far from impressive and he finds no shame in admitting that.

Suryakumar Yadav Back To Best As India Keep T20I Series Alive With Seven-Wicket Win Against West Indies

Suryakumar Yadav was back to his disdainful best as India stayed alive in the series with a seven-wicket win over the West Indies in the third T20I here on Tuesday. West Indies skipper Rovman Powell's whirlwind 40 not out off 19 balls pushed the hosts to 159 for five after Kuldeep Yadav (3/28) stemmed the flow of runs in the middle overs. Debutant Yashavi Jaiswal (1) and Shubman Gill (6) got out cheaply in run chase before Suryakumar came up with a special 83 off 44 balls to help India gun down the target in 17.5 overs. Tilak Varma (49 not out off 37) was happy to play second fiddle to his senior Mumbai Indians teammate in their 87-run stand. Tilak missed his second straight fifty in his debut series as skipper Hardik Pandya (20 not out off 15) hit the winning six.

India's Predicted XI vs West Indies, 3rd T20I: Will Sanju Samson Make Way For Yashasvi Jaiswal?

After facing two back-to-back defeats in the ongoing five-match series, Team India will be taking on West Indies in the third T20I match on Tuesday. India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs.

India's Top-Order Under Pressure In Must-Win Game, Spinners Need To Stop Nicholas Pooran's Attack

India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat in the third T20 International against the West Indies in Guyana on Tuesday. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs. India, who last lost to the West Indies in a bilateral T20 series back in 2016, trail 0-2 in the five-match series. The shortest format demands the batters to go hard from ball one and that is something India's top-order, comprising Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav, have not been able to do.

Suryakumar Yadav's disappointing run of form continued as the Indian cricket team batter was run out for just 1 following a brilliant direct hit from West Indies' Kyle Mayers during the second T20I encounter in Guyana on Sunday. Ishan Kishan played a ball from Obed McCoy with soft hands and immediately called for a quick single. However, Mayers was extremely agile at mid-wicket and he quickly collected the ball and completed an impressive direct hit. The on-field umpire went for a review but replays made it clear that Suryakumar was well short of his crease and was dismissed cheaply once again.
