Suryakumar Yadav will once again be a player to watch out for in the upcoming second leg of IPL 2021.

Suryakumar Yadav has been in the form of his life in the past 12 months

The past year has been special for Suryakumar Yadav. The Mumbai cricketer broke the door down as far as the national side was concerned and was finally rewarded with a much-deserved opportunity during the T20I series against England earlier this year.

Surya made heads turn during the 13th season of the IPL last year where he smashed 500-plus runs in what was yet another triumphant campaign for the Mumbai Indians.

While many thought his exploits would earn him a stint with the Indian team for the Australian tour, Yadav was once again overlooked.

However, when he finally got the opportunity a few months later against England, Suryakumar Yadav ensured that he grabbed the chance with both hands. He smashed a match-winning 50 in his maiden international knock besides chipping in with a crucial 30-odd in the series decider.

Dreams do come true💫Very honored and emotional on getting this opportunity to represent my country in the T20 World Cup🇮🇳BIG thank you to my coaches and family for their sacrifices and constant love & support. Completely overwhelmed on receiving so many wishes😇🧿#blessed pic.twitter.com/MV21dyNyxy

Suryakumar Yadav made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka back in July and he once again made the most of the opportunity. As a result, he was eventually awarded a berth in the 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.

Surya will hope to continue his good form in the upcoming IPL and the T20 World Cup.
