Suryakumar Yadav was showered with praises after he won the Man of the Match (MOTM) award in India vs New Zealand match in Lucknow for his stellar performance. SKY slammed 26 runs in just 30 balls, pushing India over the edge and taking the team to a smashing victory.

Suryakumar Yadav has been dubbed as Mr 360 after his smashing and consistent performance in 2022, appreciating his stellar shots from all four corners of the cricket pitch. Before this, South African legend Ab de Villiers had been nicknamed Mr 360.

Not just praises from across the world for his cricket performance, Suryakumar Yadav has also been named as the World’s Number 1 batsman in T20i matches for his show of skill in the T20 World Cup 2022.
