Former India Cricketer Compares Suryakumar Yadav And AB de Villiers

After witnessing Surya's performances, many cricket pundits have started comparing him to AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle.

India’s ace batter Suryakumar Yadav is in the form of his life now. He has been constantly making headlines and has been dominating the T20I format with his extraordinary performances. Many cricket pundits have started comparing Surya to AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle. Speaking about the same, former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja came up with a bold statement while having a chat with Cricbuzz. 

"With AB de Villiers we saw, I mean he was one of the finest we have seen, no doubt. His (Suryakumar Yadav) consistency is a little bit more and I think what he adds with AB is that there's a little more power to his game. What he adds is the wrist work which AB didn't have. So the angles you were talking about, they were because of the wrists. both sides his wrists work better than AB also," he said.

Surya’s heroics helped India beat Sri Lanka by 91-run in the 3rd and final T20I in Rajkot. He scored a fantastic 51-ball 112 on Saturday.
