One win away

[Anuj Nitin Prabhu @APTalksCricket]

What do you do when despite being a phenomenal outlier and a standout performer among all the then Indian batters, you still have to wait for that India cap?

The thought of "what more could I have done?" is surely deflating..especially if you are already 30 and the feeling of maybe the ship has sailed might start to sink in. Right?

No. Not if you are Suryakumar Yadav.

2 days after being snubbed, he went toe to toe with the Indian captain, didn't back down in the stare, went on to win the game for his side..and declared that he wasn't here just to be given a chance to represent India, but was here to claim a spot in the XI which was rightfully his and dominate world cricket.

First Indian cap after 12 years of hardwork..surely you should take some balls to get your eye in and look to have a decent personal score..right?

No. Not if you are Suryakumar Yadav.

He parked Jofra Archer on the very first ball he faced in the stands.

A breath of fresh air in a country obsessed with personal milestones..SKY showed the way of how modern day T20 cricket has to be played.

Average of 40+ and strike rate of 170+ for more than 2 years with back to back ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year, breaking records became just another thing for him. Alongside Virat and Rohit, SKY became that player who made people stop all their work and watch him play and then switch off the TV once he was done.

One thing that unfortunately SKY had to deal with was the "did he score when it mattered" filter and that travelled with him everywhere. Indian audience never understood that T20 was a high risk format where one failed more often than not. Gone were the days of 140 strike rate being good enough.

But gradually the big performances came...the 68 in Perth on that spicy track against SA. The fifty on the slow Barbados pitch vs Afghanistan and their world class spinners in a must win game, the cameo vs Australia, the knocks vs USA that survived humiliation and the big big knock of 47 in the semifinal vs England. Had he not hung around with Rohit, we would have never won that semifinal.

It is a huge irony that the man who was always mocked for not having clutch moments..had one such clutch moment that shut the debate forever. "When it mattered" the catch of Miller..the one moment of brilliance from SKY just changed the course of Indian cricket history. Silverware jinx broke and we won the next three ICC events.

As a captain what SKY did has outdone everything he achieved as a batter. SKY was as selfless as his mentor Rohit and that showed in the monstrous DNA that he instilled in the Indian T20I team of 2024-26 cycle.

His personal form was in shambles and yet..yet he never shied away from staying true to his principles. The biggest example of this is the T20 World Cup Semifinal and Final on two of the flattest pitches India has ever produced.

SKY could have pushed himself at 3 and 4 and could have had decent returns in a bid to ease the pressure on his place in the team post the World Cup. But no..he sent Hardik and Dube ahead of him.

The man who hit the first ball of his first game for India for a six and the man who got out on the first ball of his last game for India (up until now) for the sake of the team..just showed why SKY has been a "team first" guy.

No matter how much I write for you Surya bhau..I will never be able to make justice to the impact you have had on me as a cricketer and most importantly as a human being.

You didn't need to be kind to me but you did. You didn't need to be kind to the fans who always questioned your "big match" stats but you always were kind. You always took all your players together and kept walking in one direction as a captain. And in the end..that's what will be remembered by everyone.

The greatest T20 batter India has produced.. and more importantly..one of the finest human beings I have ever come across.

One final push Surya..one final push 🥺

The 2025 Blue Jays were so amazing that they turned me and several people I know into 162 game sickos after never previously exhibiting any interest in baseball.

SRH have done to the IPL what Golden State Warriors did to the NBA

[Aakash Chopra @cricketaakash]

What I witnessed today at the Wankhede wasn’t just a Rohit master-class but the love Mumbai have for its favourite son. The DJ went off at 10 and post that it was all human chorus. Mumbai Cha Raja….Rohit Sharma. Hear this in 30,000 shouting fans in unison. Surreal. 😍

[Arnav Ladhe @arnavladhe_]

the most alive ive seem the wankhede ever. what a night

[n. @rohitsupremacy_]

The way everyone was suffering from Rohit's batting deficiency syndrome it really shows 😭
The continuous ‘Rohit’ chants, those ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ chants during the review,the excitement and roar
Please play forever, my man @ImRo45
you don’t know what you mean to all of us

[Arnav Ladhe @arnavladhe_]

i really thought we were on to something man

[Incognito Cricket @Incognitocric]

In Case You Forget This was Mumbai Indians Celebration after Win Against KKR 😭😭🥀

[Chris Walder @WalderSports]

I wonder what the Toronto Raptors will do with Gradey Dick moving forward.

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

That looked familiar

[Arnav Ladhe @arnavladhe_]

some of yall gotta chill dude. in what world is a 15 ball 30 a net negative?

[Mumbai Indians FC @MIPaltanFamily]

What is the use of this 31(15) when you can’t stay till the end for last 2 overs.

Even after knowing that you don’t have Sherfane Rutherford today. Not an innings to appreciate.
