Suryakumar Yadav has become the highest run scorer in T20 International cricket in a year. Surya is also the top run scorer in 2022. Suryakumar Yadav opened his account by hitting a six on a difficult battlefield against South Africa. He pushed Enrich Nortje, one of the world’s fastest bowlers, on the back foot by hitting another six into the next ball.
