Shubman Gill Stats in T20I (Career)

Shubman Gill has finally arrived! What we saw in the 3^rd IND vs WI, a ballistic inning from Shubman is on the cards. If you still doubt, just have a look at his T20I stats.

 Suryakumar Yadav Stats in T20I (Career)           

Suryakumar Yadav is a new definition of a 360-degree player, for whom “SKY” is the limit. When he gets going, bowlers beg for mercy. There isn’t a small corner of the ground where Surya can’t hit. A strike rate of around 176 after 46 innings is unbelievable as a miracle.
