The breathtaking display unfolded in the 44th over of India's innings when Cameron Green took the ball. SKY wasted no time and welcomed him with a colossal six off the very first delivery, executing a flawless pick-up shot. The following ball received the same treatment, as Suryakumar elegantly scooped it over the boundary. On the third ball, SKY lofted the delivery over deep extra cover for yet another six. He concluded his remarkable display by dispatching the next ball over deep midwicket for a towering six.

The final two balls of the over yielded only 2 runs, but the damage had been done, with a total of 26 runs scored in that over. Thanks to the brilliant batting performance, Suryakumar managed to complete his half-century off just 24 balls.
