The Indian captain led the show from the very front as Team India seized control of the final T20I to finish the series on a 1-1 note. After being put to bat, India posted 201/7 from their 20 overs as Suryakumar Yadav was the star of the show with an incredible century while Yashasvi Jaiswal played the perfect two-to-tango at the other end.

SKY was impressive in both the matches that he played as he scored a brilliant 56 in the second contest while following that up with a match-winning century. The explosive hard-hitter left the Proteas bowlers in a lot of agony while knitting together important runs in the series decider.

Talking at the post-match presentation, SKY said, “I am good. I am walking, so good. Always a good feeling. When it comes in a winning cause, it makes me happier. We wanted to play some fearless brand of cricket.”

He further added, “The idea was to bat first, put some runs on the board and defend. The boys work day in and day out. Happy that they showed some character.”

Sky concluded by Kuldeep Yadav, stating, “Kuldeep is never happy. He is always hungry. It is a nice self gift on his birthday. I mean it is important to know your game. I just go out there and enjoy myself. The balance is important.”
