  • 117 – Virat Kohli (107 innings)
  • 100 – Suryakumar Yadav (49 innings)

Yadav’s journey to the milestone commenced early in the innings, as he walked in to bat in the very first over after the fall of debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored one off two balls in the pursuit of the 160-run target. Yadav’s powerful strike over the short fine-leg boundary off Romario Shepherd in the 10th over marked his 100th six in T20Is.

Expressing his elation after the match, Suryakumar Yadav revealed, “It was really important to be myself when I went to bat. That is what the team management wanted from me at that point in time. I think I practiced these strokes a lot when I used to bat back at my home. We have batted together for a long time now. We understand how we bat together. It was his [Tilak Varma’s] day to bat with more maturity. The way you are batting is giving me the opportunity to express myself. It was a great thing to bat alongside him,” during the post-match presentation.
