The impact of Suryavanshi India’s resilient pursuit
The early hero of Suryavanshi faced a wobble in the middle innings, falling to 199 on the 24th, despite finishing eighth when he tried to pull a short ball into his short legs.

Following a score of 48 (19 balls) and 45 (34 balls) in the first two matches, his latest record-breaking knock establishes him as India’s leading runcollar rep, second in the series, with 179 running at an astonishing strike rate.
