Suryakumar yadav is the second indian to hits second ton in a year ;
Suryakumar Yadav maintained his strong run of play by smashing the second century of his T20I career on Sunday in Mount Maunganui during the second T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand.
In the penultimate over of India's innings, suryakumar Yadav needed just 49 deliveries to get his century. After that, he hit a four and a six, but he was unable to obtain a strike in the final over, resulting in India scoring 191/6 in their allotted 20 overs. With 11 fours and seven enormous sixes in his innings, Yadav finished unbeaten on 111 from 51 deliveries.
India put up a massive total on the board thanks to Surya's outstanding knock.Tim Southee recorded a hat-trick for New Zealand and finished with a score of 3/34.
After Rishabh Pant was fired, Surya moved up to number three in Virat Kohli's absence. The graceful hitter immediately asserted his dominance over the Kiwi bowlers as his eyes were fixed on the playing surface.
Against Lockie Ferguson, Surya scored 22 runs in the 19th over and finished a quick century off 49 balls.
The 32-year-old succeeded Rohit Sharma as the only player to score two T20I hundreds in a single calendar year using this approach.
Surya is the leading run-scorer in the T20I format in 2022 with 1151 runs in 30 innings. He is presently the top T20I batter as well, according to his performances.
As a response, New Zealand lost Finn Allen for a duck in the opening over and never fully recovered. Before the spinners applied the squeeze in the middle overs, regular strikes kept them on the back foot and increased the pressure. Kane Williamson managed to hold one end with a valiant half-century, but the pace at which it was delivered wasn't going to be advantageous, particularly when the designated big-hitters struggled. They were eventually dismissed for 125, with Deepak Hooda taking 4/10, three of which came in a single over. On Tuesday, the third and final T20I will be played.
India triumphs by 65 runs;
Even though it's not a hat trick, Deepak Hooda manages to dismiss Adam Mile in the next over after Arshdeep Singh had caught him at long-off, earning him his third wicket of the innings. He received a 6. As New Zealand is dismissed for 126 in 18.5 Overs, Hooda ends with 4/10 from 2.5 Overs. India has a 1-0 series lead after three games.
