Twitter went berserk after witnessing Surya’s knock. Here are some Twitter reactions:
Earlier, India won the toss and decided to bat first. An incredible ton from Suryakumar guided the hosts to post a mammoth 228-run total in the series decider against Sri Lanka. After reaching his half-century off just 26 balls, Surya scored his century in the next 19 deliveries. The star batter was the top scorer for India in the series decider. Apart from Yadav, Shubman Gill (46) and Rahul Tripathi (16-ball 35-run knock) also made important contributions.
In the end, Axar Patel played a quick cameo and shared an unbeaten 39-run partnership with Suryakumar to help India post a big total. Suryakumar remained unbeaten on 112 in 51 balls with the help of seven fours and nine sixes in his blazing knock and Axar Patel scored 21 runs in 9 balls.
