“I’ve seen Richards, Tendulkar, and Kohli but coming to Suryakumar Yadav, I think he’s once in a century batter” – Kapil Dev

Suryakumar Yadav's impressive performance against Sri Lanka has made him a hot topic in the cricket world. Here’s what former World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev has said about him!

India’s batting sensation Suryakumar Yadav has been making waves in the cricket world with his unstoppable impressive performances on the field.

Former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev has heaped praise on the 32-year-old batter, saying that he is a once-in-a-century player. “Viv Richards, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli are all some of the greatest batters I’ve seen batting, but talking about Suryakumar Yadav, he is entirely different from them and is on the next level looking at his current form. He’s a special talent and a true match-winner,” said the 1983 World Cup winning captain.

SKY, who made his third hundred for India in the recent T20I series against Sri Lanka, has already achieved accomplishments in the shortest format of the game. His aggressive and stylish approach at the crease makes him a key player for India in the coming years.

“Suryakumar has all the shots in the book and he’s not afraid to take on the bowlers when it’s his day. He’s got very sharp eyes and excellent hand-eye coordination, which enables him to pick gaps in the field with ease,” said Dev.

He has already made a mark on the international stage and it will be exciting to see what the future holds for him. His rise to fame has not been easy, as he has had to work hard and persevere through many challenges to get where he is today. His dedication and determination have paid off, however, and he is now considered one of the best batter in the country.
