After 23 innings, for the first time since October 2024, Suryakumar scored a fifty in T20Is. Not only just that, the Indian skipper also enthralled the Raipur crowd by showcasing the Surya which ruled T20I cricket not so long ago, be it through his classy, caressing drives down the ground and his trademark 'Supla' shot. This 82* in 37 balls, with nine fours and four sixes, is no less than a century, given the circumstances it came in during the match, with India at 6/2. It also came at the perfect time, in India's last assignment before the T20 World Cup starting from next month.
