Lucknow: In the present era, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are counted among the best batsmen not only in India but in the world. However, former India's veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has named a player in front of whom both the batsmen are nothing. Actually, Harbhajan feels that both these players do not bat like star batsman Suryakumar Yadav and Surya is at the forefront. His reaction came at a time when Yadav scored a century in the match played against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

Actually, the match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Hyderabad was played at Wankhede Stadium on Monday. MI won this match by 7 wickets and this is their fourth win this season. Surya single-handedly led Mumbai to victory. He scored this century at a time when MI was surrounded by difficult circumstances and the team had lost 3 wickets for 31 runs. Seeing such innings of the right-handed batsman, Harbhajan has given a big statement during a conversation on Star Sports.
He said, “This is the sun which shines at night. It is not easy to bowl to him because he can hit the ball to any corner of the stadium. Even players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are nothing in front of him. He is better than others and is the best batsman in T-20 cricket. If I had to bowl to Yadav, I would have thought twice before doing so.”
Let us tell you that in this match against Hyderabad, the 33-year-old played an unbeaten inning of 102 runs facing 51 balls. During this period, 12 fours and 6 sixes came from his bat. The result of his inning was that MI won the match by 7 wickets because apart from him no other player could score more runs. After Surya, young bowler Tilak Verma was the best scorer, who scored unbeaten 37 runs on 32 balls.
