Suryakumar Yadav 39 Runs Shy of Equalling Virat Kohli's Record During 2nd T20I v Bangladesh in Delhi

India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav will have an opportunity to equal a massive Virat Kohli feat during the 2nd game versus Bangladesh . Suryakumar, on the other hand, has 2461 runs to his name in 72 T20Is played so far, needs 39 runs to equal Kohli feat in race to 2500 runs. Kohli, who has now retired from T20Is, breached the 2500-run mark in 73 T20Is for India. In this race, Pakistan 's premier batter Babar Azam is on top of the tree being the fastest ever to amass the mark. Babar took 67 matches to get there.

An India so dominant that Bangladesh is admittedly clueless about how to match the "skills and mentality" of Suryakumar Yadav 's men.

The script is not expected to deviate much when the two sides clash in the second T20 International here on Wednesday with the home team's young mavericks proving more than a handful for the full-strength visitors.

Bangladesh have hardly looked like the plucky opponents that they are hyped to be but India have looked every bit the marauding force that loves to intimidate on home turf.

So, even with key players such as Rishabh Pant , Axar Patel, and Jasprit Bumrah rested, India's remarkable depth in white-ball cricket shone through in a comfortable seven-wicket victory in the opening game in Gwalior.

One man who made a strong statement of intent in that game on Sunday was Sanju Samson .

Confirmed by Suryakumar as an opener for the series, Samson has been in and out of the national set up since his debut in 2015 and his lack of consistency has been a major contributing factor.
