New Delhi: Indian cricketer Suriya Kumar Yadav has emerged victorious once again, bagging the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year award for the second consecutive year. The announcement is a testament to Yadav's exceptional talent and immense contribution to the T20 format and has further cemented his place as a key player in the Indian team.
Yadav, known for his explosive batting prowess and stellar performances on the field, took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the prestigious award.
Yadav posted a picture of himself in the new India uniform, holding the coveted ICC award and donning a commemorative cap, expressing his gratitude for the recognition.
The talented cricketer's stellar record in T20 international matches last year speaks volumes about his consistency and skill. With an impressive haul of 733 runs in 17 innings in 2023 at a batting average of 155.95 and an average of 48.86, Yadav's dominance in the format was unparalleled.
Despite facing difficulties during the 2024 Indian Premier League season with Mumbai Indians, including being sidelined with an injury at the start of the tournament, Yadav showed tenacity and determination as he scored 345 runs at a batting rate of 167.47, including a remarkable unbeaten run off just 51 balls.
Yadav's leadership skills were also on display when he captained the Indian team for the T20I series in South Africa in December, but an unfortunate ankle injury sustained during the series meant he was ruled out of subsequent matches and also for Mumbai Indians' first match of the 2024 IPL season.
As Yadav prepares to represent India in the upcoming T20 World Cup, the honour serves as a source of motivation and inspiration for him.
