New Delhi: T20’s number 1 batsman Suryakumar Yadav is all set for the three-match T20 series against New Zealand. Although he will be in a new role this time. Surya has been promoted and will now play the role of vice-captain as well. Surya is an explosive batsman of T20 International and many records will be on his target when he takes the ground in Ranchi on Friday. One of these records will also be of former captain MS Dhoni, which he will break by scoring just 40 runs. MS Dhoni suddenly reached Team India’s dressing room in Ranchi on Thursday. Here he met captain Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and other players. It is being said that Dhoni will also go to watch the match tomorrow. In such a situation, it will be a special opportunity to see Dhoni breaking his own record.
Dhoni has scored 1617 runs in T20 International
Suryakumar Yadav has scored 1578 runs in 43 innings of 45 matches in T20 International, while MS Dhoni scored 1617 runs in 85 innings of 98 matches in his T20 International career. If Surya touches the 40-run mark in the very first match, he will go past MS Dhoni. Along with this, he will also break the record of Suresh Raina, former explosive batsman of Team India. Raina scored 1605 runs in 66 innings of 78 matches. Surya can also break Raina’s record by scoring 28 runs. Seeing the way Surya is batting, it can also be said that he can beat Shikhar Dhawan. To break Dhawan’s record, Surya will have to score 181 runs. As soon as Surya scores 40 runs, he will also become the fifth Indian batsman to score the most runs in T20 Internationals.

Virat Kohli is on top
In this format, two Indian batsmen are on top in terms of most runs. Number 1 is occupied by Virat Kohli, who has scored 4008 runs in 107 innings of 115 matches, while Rohit Sharma has scored 3853 runs in 140 innings of 148 matches. KL Rahul is in third place among Indian batsmen, who has scored 2265 runs in 68 innings of 72 matches. Although all these three players are not part of the T20 series, it will be interesting to see Surya breaking the record.
