Australia cricketer Glenn Maxwell highly praised his effort,” I didn't know the game was on. But I later checked the scorecard and sent the picture of that to Finchy and said, 'What is going on here? He is batting on a completely different planet! Look at everyone else's scores and look at this bloke scoring 111 off 50.'," Maxwell said while talking to 'The Grade Cricketer'.

A stupendous knock of 111* off 51 deliveries from @surya_14kumar makes him our Top Performer from the first innings.

"The next I watched the full replay of the innings the next day and it's embarrassing thing is that he is so much better than everyone else. It's almost hard to watch. No one we have got is close to that."

 "We don't have enough money. There is no chance. We will have to sack every player and the sack every contracted player of Cricket Australia(laughs)”, he further added.

 

 

Suryakumar will next be playing in the ODI series against New Zealand which will start on Friday.
