The second match of the 3-match T20I series between India and New Zealand will be played today at 7 pm at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. If there is a chance in this match and India’s explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav stays at the crease, then he can break Kieron Pollard’s record of hitting most sixes in T20I cricket. He also has a chance to score a century of sixes in T20I cricket in this series.
Significantly, in the IND vs NZ 1st T20I Match played in Ranchi on January 27, 2023, Suryakumar Yadav scored 47 runs in 34 balls with the strike rate of 138.24 with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes.
Due to his tremendous performance, Suryakumar Yadav, who won the ‘ICC Player of the Year’ for the year 2022, made many records in a very short T20I cricket career, and has also broken many records. Now he is very close to completing the century of sixes. He needs only 6 sixes to complete the century of sixes. As soon as he hits 6 sixes, he will complete 100 sixes and will become the third Indian batsman to hit 100 sixes in T20I Cricket.
