360 Game: Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers recently addressed similarities between himself and Indian great Suryakumar Yadav, emphasising that Yadav has pulled off hits that he has never attempted. Due to the former’s ability to play shots all around the field, experts have drawn analogies between Yadav and de Villiers. De Villiers lavished accolades on Yadav, who is now ranked first in the world in T20I batter rankings.
Yadav, according to the South African icon, has a long way to go in his cricketing career and has much more potential to be unlocked. Yadav and the former RCB great share some similarities, according to the former RCB superstar.
“Suryakumar Yadav has a repertoire of shots that I never attempted during my playing career. It’s a delight to watch Yadav bat when he’s in full flow,” de Villiers remarked in an interview with JioCinema on Home of Heroes.
De Villiers feels Yadav can seamlessly alter gears during his innings, making him a very great batsman. The former Proteas captain praised Yadav’s calm demeanour at the crease, citing it as a significant element in his performance. He also stated that Yadav’s ability to remain cool lets him walk slowly and correctly position himself for each delivery.
“When he’s confident, he goes so slowly and elegantly erect. He gets the ball late and nicely. And once you realise as a batsman that the faster the bowler gets, the more you have to let it come, that is really starting to click, and I believe he has clicked that. As a result, the sky is the limit. Pardon the pun,” he said.
Yadav’s exploits have wowed viewers, as he has a stunning strike rate of 175.76 in 46 T20I innings, including three hundreds and 13 half-centuries. His effect on the game and ability to regularly score runs make him a rising star in Indian cricket, and the brilliant batter’s future seems bright.
