ICC world's number 1 ranked T20I batsman, Suryakumar Yadav, turns 33 today. The youngster who made his debut in 2021 has come a long way in a short span of time by being the fourth highest run-scorer in this format (T20I) for the Indian team standing behind only top-3 batters Kohli, Rohit and KL Rahul respectively.
Suryakumar Yadav, who got his international opportunity very late at the age of 30, has also managed to make his debut in all three formats of the game during the Test series against Australia in 2023. Here, in this article, we will see the five records that only Suryakumar Yadav holds in his career so far.
