IND vs SL: Suryakumar Yadav is not only difficult but impossible to stop in T20 cricket and this was also proved in the first T20 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav played a stormy half-century in the first T20 match. This right-handed batsman scored 58 runs in 26 balls at a strike rate of 223. Surya hit 8 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. Surya's innings is special because he came on the field for the first time as a full-time captain in T20 cricket and in the very first match he proved that despite the burden of captaincy, there will be no change in his batting.

Suryakumar's brilliance

Suryakumar Yadav's innings is also special because he came on the field after the powerplay. Yadav came to the crease after Gill was out, but as soon as he came, Jaiswal was also dealt with. After two wickets fell on two consecutive balls, Suryakumar Yadav had the challenge of maintaining Team India's fast start and he lived up to it. Surya shared a 76-run partnership with Pant in 43 balls, in which Pant's contribution was only 16 runs and he scored these runs in 17 balls. However, Surya did not let the team's score stop with his rapid batting. Pant's innings did not have any side-effects on Team India.

Gambhir's reaction went viral

Suryakumar Yadav completed his half-century in just 22 balls and as soon as he raised his bat, the reaction of the new head coach Gautam Gambhir was worth seeing. Gambhir stood up from his seat and started clapping in excitement.

The expressions on his face were worth seeing. When Gautam Gambhir chose Surya as the T20 captain, people were questioning this decision, but now his decision seems to be proving right in the first match itself. It is hoped that Surya will continue to set an example for the team with his stormy innings.
