The firsts are always special and this one certainly was for our very own SHOWSTOPPER!!

10 July 2022 saw Suryakumar Yadav SKY-rocket his way to a maiden ton in international cricket, that too in his favourite format of the game! 🔥

Against a fiery English attack, under pressure and chasing a mammoth total, 215 to be precise, दादा pulled off a masterclass that had jaws dropping all over the world.

Walking in with India in a bit of a wobble at 3/31, he didn’t flinch. Instead, Surya switched gears and navigated his way through challenges. 360° shots? No-look sixes? Executed with sheer elegance. ✅

He lit up every corner of Trent Bridge with a mind-boggling 117 off just 55 balls, which remains his highest T20 score to date! 💪 The opposition bowlers? Let's just say they were looking skyward for answers…

Sure, India couldn’t complete a successful chase that night, falling marginally short by 17 runs. But Surya’s innings? It won hearts, made headlines & announced – loud and clear – that he belonged on the biggest stage in the most Surya way possible. 💥

Maiden T20I 💯 for SKY and we JUST. CANT. KEEP. CALM. 🤩#OneFamily #ENGvIND @surya_14kumar pic.twitter.com/w6eJt1PptF

It was his first international ton, but oh boy, it felt like he'd done it a 💯 times before. Calm, composed & smashing boundaries – just your everyday gully cricket scenes from Chembur!

He went on to hit five more centuries in T20s in the subsequent years, including two for Mumbai Indians, each one being equally graceful. In a nutshell, you are एकच वादा, सूर्या दादा for real! 👏
