There is no stopping Suryakumar Yadav in the shortest format of the game in 2022, as he has now become the batter with the highest number of sixes in a calendar year. He reached this landmark during India's first T20I in three-match series against South Africa in Kerala. During the match, chasing a low score of 107 on a tricky pitch offering swing and a great deal of bounce, the wristy right-hander looked head and shoulders above all, seeming to be batting on a different surface.

The Indian T20I team combination has seen a distinct trait in the last few matches. The veteran Dinesh Karthik is being preferred more over Rishabh Pant in the wicketkeeper-batter's role. Karthik's ability as a finisher in the No. 6 position seems to be working in his favour. Pant, however, brings his left-handed batting prowess to the table - a quality which is important for Team India, especially after Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the T20 World Cup in Australia.
