It is worth noting that Suryakumar came at number three position for India in the absence of Virat Kohli and smashed boundaries and sixes at will. He raced to his fifty in 32 balls while he took only 17 more balls to race to his hundred. His last 64 runs came off just 18 balls.
It might not look simple to the naked eye but in his own words, Surya kept it "simple" and executed his amazing range of strokes as per the field placements.
If the spinners pitched it full on off stump, he was happy to play the inside out shot over cover and when the faster bowlers targeted his stumps on good length, he helped the ball sail past fine leg for a bunch of sixes. In total, Surya collected 11 fours and seven sixes.
