Suryakumar Yadav scripted history on Sunday as he matched Virat Kohli’s record for the most Player of the Match awards in T20I cricket. The stylish batsman was instrumental in India’s 43-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first T20I of the series.
Yadav’s blazing 58 off just 26 balls set the tone for India’s innings, with his explosive knock laying the foundation for a formidable total of 213/7. The right-hander’s ability to find the gaps and clear the boundaries with ease has made him a cornerstone of the Indian T20I batting lineup.
With this achievement, Suryakumar joins an elite group of players, including Sikandar Raza, Mohammad Nabi, Rohit Sharma, and Virandeep Singh, who have also excelled in winning matches for their respective teams.
Most number of Player of the Match award in T20Is
Suryakumar Yadav – 16 (69 matches)
Virat Kohli – 16 (125 matches)
Sikandar Raza – 15 (91 matches)
Mohammad Nabi – 14 (129 matches)
Rohit Sharma – 14 (159 matches)
Virandeep Singh – 14 (78 matches)
India will look to build on this momentum as they aim to clinch the series in the second T20I on Sunday.
