Roelof van der Merwe Acknowledges Suryakumar Yadav's Hitting Power

Sunrisers Eastern Cape spinner, Roelof van der Merwe, is making waves in the SA20 league with his impressive performance, securing 14 wickets in just 6 matches with an outstanding average of 7.78 and economy rate of 4.73. But what’s got him even more excited is the electrifying hitting ability of India’s own Suryakumar Yadav.

The 38-year-old is confident that SKY is the best batter in the game right now and wants him on his SA20 franchise. Suryakumar’s impressive performance in 2022, including 1164 runs from 31 matches at an average of 46.56 and a strike rate of 187.43, two hundreds and nine fifties, and being named ICC Men’s T20I Player of 2022, has caught the Dutchman’s eye.

In a recent interview, Roelof stated, “At the moment, you have got to go with Suryakumar Yadav. The way he is hitting the ball, it has to be him.”
