Notably, Suryakumar continued his stellar batting form in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against New Zealand. With 124 runs in two outings, he finished as the leading run-getter of the rubber.

The right-handed batter dazzled viewers in the second T20I, slamming a scintillating century against a formidable Kiwi bowling attack. With his unbeaten knock of 111, Suryakumar was instrumental in the Men in Blue securing a decisive 65-run win in the encounter.

The 32-year-old currently occupies the top spot in the ICC rankings for batters in the shortest format. Furthermore, he is the highest run-scorer in T20Is in the calendar year, mustering 1164 runs in just 31 matches.
