1. Suryakumar Yadav - The freak in T20I cricket (4 Centuries)

Impressed by his run-scoring talent in the Ranji Trophy 2010-11 season, the current World no 1 T20 batsman received an IPL contract from Mumbai Indians in 2011. SKY was part of the MI squad in the 2012 and 2013 seasons but played only one game, where he got out for a duck. In 2014, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) brought SKY but failed to get the best out of him. Suryakumar Yadav stats were poor as he played for KKR for four years (2014-2017) and did not score more than 200 runs in any IPL season. Mumbai Indians once again acquired the services of Suryakumar Yadav in the 2018 IPL auction, and he had his breakthrough season, scoring 512 runs at a strike rate of 133.33. Since then, there has been no looking back for India's Mr. 360. One of the greatest modern-day batters to have ever graced the shortest format of the game, Suryakumar Yadav has as many as 4 international hundreds under his belt.

Having made his T20I debut against England in early 2021, Suryakumar Yadav has been batting on a completely different level in this format thus far, entertaining cricket fans worldwide with his audacious and magical strokeplay. Suryakumar Yadav brought up his maiden T20I ton against England in July 2021 in Nottingham. Chasing 216, India was in a spot of bother before SKY took centerstage and hammered a 55-ball 117 with the help of 14 fours and 6 sixes. Six months later, SKY smashed his 2nd T20I ton when he hammered the New Zealand bowlers to the tune of 111* (51) with the help of 11 fours and 7 sixes. His 3rd century came against Sri Lanka in Rajkot in January 2023. He smashed 7 fours and 9 sixes in a breathtaking display of batting to set up a 91-run win for the Men in Blue. SKY's fourth and latest T20I ton came up against South Africa. The Indian skipper’s innings of 100 runs off 56 balls were a mix of 7 fours and 8 sixes. He scored at an impressive strike rate of 178.57. His record-breaking doesn't stop there. 

Suryakumar now holds the most T20I centuries batting at number 3 or lower. He overtook Maxwell, who has 3 centuries in similar positions. He has smashed 123 sixes in 57 innings, overtaking Virat Kohli as the Indian player with the second-most T20I sixes. Rohit Sharma leads this chart with 182 sixes in 140 innings. Suryakumar Yadav has smashed 2,141 runs with an average of 45.55 and a striking strike rate of 171.55 in his T20I career spanning 60 matches. Talking about Suryakumar Yadav stats, his T20I record includes 4 centuries and 17 fifties, with a top score of 117. In a massive boost for the Men in Blue ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, Suryakumar Yadav unfurled his scintillating, vintage 100-run knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad, putting to bed all kinds of questions about his form heading into the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Talking about Suryakumar Yadav T20 World Cup form, he came up with a huge statement on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium. SKY's IPL 2024 form before Mumbai Indians' home game against Sunrisers Hyderabad was up and down, as his scores were 0, 52, 0, 78, 10, 26, 10, 56. However, the World No 1 T20 batsman showed why he is rated the best in the world with a 51-ball 102 not out that helped MI stun the in-form Sunrisers.

2. Suryakumar Yadav in ODIs and Tests (No Centuries Yet)

Suryakumar Yadav was among the cricket updates, geting thrashed by Indian media after a poor show in the ODI World Cup 2023, especially in the final against Australia. However, SKY is yet to score a century in One-day international cricket. The dynamic batter made his ODI debut in July 2021, Surya has scored 773 runs at an average of 25.76 and a strike rate of 105.02 in 37 matches. He has smashed only 4 fifties.
