Suryakumar showed a variety of shots during his 103-run innings, but his six in the last over of the innings against Mohammed Shami surprised many. The shot was so good that even Sachin Tendulkar, considered one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket, tried to copy it sitting near the dugout.
Suryakumar deliberately lofts the ball over short third when Shami lofts the delivery wide. Suryakumar appeared to aim for a grounded hit at first but flicked his wrist at the end to send it over the boundary line for a six.
“That particular ball, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a six hit third man with a vertical bat. I’ve seen one hit with a horizontal bat, the cut shot going over third man. I’ve never seen that Moody told ESPNcricinfo, “I hit a six through the middle of the bat with a vertical bat, I’ve also seen a thick edged fly. Never seen this before in my life!”
“I’ve seen about 10 million balls bowled in all forms of the game in my lifetime, and I’ve never seen it before. It was complete Mint. It was in his mind, and not in anyone else’s mind.” , that he was able to do,” he said.
Moody wasn’t the only one surprised by the shot. The shot was called ridiculous by Ian Bishop, who is currently doing commentary in the IPL. “It will always be known to me as “The Shot”. “This is totally ridiculous from Skye,” he wrote.
Rohit Sharma also praised Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant innings. Rohit said, “The boy has got confidence. We wanted to have a right-left combination, but Sky came and said no, he wanted to go in.”
“He has such confidence and that impacts others. Every game he wants to start fresh and doesn’t look at the previous game. Sometimes you can sit back and feel proud but with him It’s not like that.” ” He added.
