Guwahati: Suryakumar Yadav’s incredibly aggressive batting has made him the most dangerous batsman in T20Is at the moment and South Africa all-rounder Wayne Parnell believes the bowlers have to be strong to face the Indian. Surya scored 50 off 33 balls in the first match of the series as India defeated South Africa by eight wickets.
Parnell said on the eve of the second match, “Personally from what I have seen in the last two months, I think he is probably the best batsman in T20 right now. He plays shots in every area of the field which makes it difficult for the bowlers to defend.

“The bowlers have to be strong and focus well on each of their deliveries. He played good shots but luck was still on his side. Certainly in the last two months he was a batsman I had the pleasure of watching him play. He is definitely playing good cricket.”
Parnell said that the team’s poor performance in the first T20 was just a coincidence and there is no need to panic ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia. “It was not a good wicket for T20s and he bowled really well. But our batsmen are world class and so there is nothing to panic. (agency)
