Suryakumar, who got Team India a ticket in a short time compared to other players, has been running in excellent form since the opening match. Today he has completed 1000 international T20 runs. He achieved this feat in 31 innings, making him seventh on the list of fastest 1000 runs and third among Indians. But he is at the top of the list of those who have achieved this feat in the fewest balls. He completed 1000 runs in 573 balls, breaking Australia’s Glenn Maxwell’s record of 1000 runs in 604 balls. In today’s innings, Surya scored 61 runs in 22 balls with the help of 5 sixes and 5 fours. Suryakumar is tied with KL Rahul in the list of fastest half-centuries by Indians in T20 Internationals by completing his fifty in just 18 balls. Yuvraj Singh is at the first place in this list by completing his half-century in 12 balls.
