The reward came after Suryakumar played a memorable innings against South Africa’s deadly bowling attack the other day. He smashed 68 off just 40 to take his side to a respectable total. The wicket was difficult and no other batter in the match could bat at over 125 strike-rate. But surface, bowler, and ground doesn’t matter for him.

Mohammad Rizwan, on the other hand, is having a quiet tournament so far. He has managed to accumulate only 67 runs in three matches and failed to make an impact. Recently, he was also criticized for having a low strike-rate despite getting the previlege to bat in powerplay offers.
