Don’t act as if you’re even remotely surprised. It was never an ‘if’. It was always a ‘when’. And now that the ‘when’ is ‘now’, let’s celebrate. It’s official: Suryakumar Yadav is the ICC Men’s T20I player of 2022. There really wasn’t much of a competition.

31 innings | 1164 runs | Avg: 46.56 | SR: 187.43 | 2 centuries | 9 fifties | HS: 117

From that absolutely whirlwind century at Nottingham where he nearly pulled off the unthinkable, to sweeping balls from well outside off and depositing them over backward square leg, to making that one-legged arguable the most reeled shot of the year, to going a little more berserk and punishing the Kiwis at Mount Maunganui with another top century, this was SKY’s year.

Go on, relive each of those 31 times when Surya took the field.

Let’s reiterate it: They say sky is the limit, but with SKY, there is no limit.
