IND vs ENG T20 Series: The first match of the T20I series between India and England starting today in Kolkata is going to be exciting. Team India will try to win under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, while Jos Buttler will be on the field for England. Both the captains are explosive batsmen, who will have the responsibility of scoring runs.

Suryakumar Yadav has performed brilliantly against England with his excellent form in T20I cricket. He has scored 321 runs against England in 7 innings of 8 matches at an average of 45.85 and a strike rate of around 180. He also has 1 century and 1 half-century to his name.

Now, Surya has a chance to make an even bigger record against England. If he scores a century in the upcoming 5 matches, he will become the batsman with the most centuries in T20Is against England. Apart from this, he can also surpass Chris Gayle (422 runs) in terms of scoring the most runs against England. Surya will need only 102 runs for this.

Great record against England

Suryakumar Yadav has been in great form in T20I cricket since his debut and he has the ability to destroy the bowling of any team alone. In such a situation, the English bowlers will have to stay away from Surya. During this, Surya will also have a chance to make a great record. Surya made his T20I debut in March 2021 and since then he has scored 2570 runs in 78 T20I matches at an average of over 40 and a strike rate of over 167. This also includes 4 centuries and 1 half-century. Surya's record against England is also excellent. He has scored 321 runs in 7 innings of 8 matches against England at an average of 45.85 and a strike rate of around 180. During this, 1 century and 1 half-century have come from his bat.

Opportunity to leave all the batsmen behind

If Surya manages to score a century in the upcoming 5-match series against England, he will create a new record. So far 8 batsmen have scored centuries in T20I against England. These include Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam, Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, Rovman Powell, Glenn Maxwell, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav. If Surya scores another century, he will become the first batsman in the world to score the most T20I centuries against England, beating 7 of the world's best batsmen in the shortest format of cricket. Not only this, with the help of a century innings, he will surpass 8 players including Gayle (422 runs) in terms of scoring the most runs against England. For this he will need only 102 runs.

This series can be a golden opportunity for Surya to create a record and for Team India to move towards victory.
