MSK Prasad says, ‘Whether it’s a scoop over fine leg, an inside-out loft over cover, or flicking a good length ball behind square, Suryakumar’s skillset is one that few Indian batsmen can find. Distinctiveness is more important than textbook batting in T20 cricket. India already have technically competent batsmen. But a batsman who has batted at a strike rate of close to 180 by batting in his own style is not easily replaced.’

Prasad says, ‘There are few batsmen like Suryakumar Yadav in the cricket world. Those who can play 360 degree cricket naturally like Suryakumar Yadav. Can play shots on different sides of the field. Once he is set at the crease, it becomes difficult for the bowlers to get him out.’
