Sourav Ganguly Has 'Best' Reaction As Suryakumar Yadav Demolishes Virat Kohli's RCB

Roaring back to form, Suryakumar Yadav put in one of finest batting displays in the Indian Premier League (IPL), slamming a 35-ball 83 to dent Royal Challengers Bangalore's hopes of playoffs qualification. Surya looked unbeateable as he thwacked RCB's bowlers all around the park in the match on Tuesday. As the world went ga-ga over Surya's exceptional performance against the Royal Challengers, even former India captain Sourav Ganguly took to Twitter to hails Surya as the 'best batter' in T20 cricket all across the globe.

Suryakumar looked at his swashbuckling best. He scored 83 runs in just 35 balls consisting of seven fours and six sixes. His knock guided MI to a six-wicket win in a run-chase of 200. The cricketing world had no option but to doff its hat to the explosive batter.

"Surya Kumar yadav the best T20 player in the world .. it seems he bats on a computer .. @surya_14kumar @mipaltan," Ganguly wrote.
