Harbhajan Singh hails Team India's top in-form batter in T20 WC

During the Star Sports broadcast of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, Indian off-spin great Harbhajan Singh extols one of Team India's top batters who took the team out of dearth in the ongoing marquee tournament. Bhajji hailed the ICC's number one ranked T20I batter, Suryakumar Yadav. The former Indian cricketer said that SKY is the ultimate match-winner for the Indian Cricket Team and that him hitting runs with the bat is an auspicious sign for the team.

"It's extremely important. We always talk about match-winners. I feel Suryakumar Yadav is the biggest match-winner in this team because the day he plays, he not only wins the match but takes the match far away from the opposition. The opposition can't even think that they can win the game.

"He is a special player. He is a different-level player. It's good that runs came from his bat that day because if those runs hadn't come, it could have been a cause for worry. However, runs coming from his bat is an auspicious sign for India," Harbhajan Singh said.
