Suryakumar Yadav has a chance to break a big record of Rohit Sharma today. Today, the last T20 of the 5-match series between India and New Zealand will be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Surya played brilliant half-centuries in the second and third innings of this series. If he plays one such innings today, he will break a big record of Rohit Sharma.

Suryakumar Yadav’s bat was silent for quite some time, but he played 2 good innings in this series. After playing an unbeaten inning of 82 runs in Raipur, he scored unbeaten 57 runs in the third match. If Surya scores 49 more runs today, a big record of Rohit Sharma will be broken.

Suryakumar Yadav can break this record of Rohit

Now if Surya scores 49 runs today, he will break Rohit’s record and become the Indian batsman who has scored the most T20 runs against New Zealand.

If he touches this figure today, he will become the second Indian batsman to score 3000 runs in the shortest number of innings in this format. Currently, Virat Kohli (81) is at number one and Rohit Sharma (108) is at second place.

The Indian cricket team took an unassailable lead in the series by winning the first 3 matches of the 5-match series against New Zealand. But after this, New Zealand counterattacked and defeated India in the fourth T20, now both the teams will play the last international match before the T20 World Cup 2026. Know when and where the fifth T20 will be played, its timing and live broadcast details.

New Zealand rarely changes the combination of its winning team, so the visiting team can enter the playing 11 without any change. Whereas Team India can rest either Jasprit Bumrah or Arshdeep Singh under the rotation policy, because both played together in the last T20. In the last match, Ravi Bishnoi and Harshit Rana proved to be very expensive in bowling, both can play in this match. Akshar Patel is unlikely to make a comeback in this match, who was injured in the first match.
