It’s amazing how SKY finds a way regardless of the opposition and conditions in the T20 format. He now has a hundred T20Is in India, England, New Zealand and South Africa. Simply an excellent T20 batsman. He Might end up as a T20 goat when he finishes his career, if he isn’t already!

Currently there are two groups in T20Is.
In one group is Suryakumar Yadav and in the other all the other batsmen in the world. pic.twitter.com/ycguyricNw
