Suryakumar Yadav become most T20I run-scorer outside home in a calendar year for India

During the crucial India vs South Africa match at Perth in Group 1 of the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav played an incredible knock and created a new record for most T20I runs as an Indian at outside home in a calendar year.

In that Perth game, the toss-winning side India were once struggling on 49/5. However, in-form Suryakumar Yadav almost single-handedly played the savior role in the Indian batting line-up as the right-hander’s 68 off 40 balls (6 fours and 3 sixes) guided India to manage the fighting first innings total of 133/9 in 20 overs.

In the second innings, the Indian bowling started really well as the proteas were struggling on 24/3. However, India couldn’t maintain the pressure in the second half of that chase due to sloppy fielding. Ultimately South Africa chased the target in 19.4 overs after losing five wickets.

During that knock, Suryakumar broke Shikhar Dhawan’s (551 in 2018) record of India’s most T20I run-scorer at outside home in a calendar year. Suryakumar ended that innings with 594 T20I runs outside India this year.
