Suryakumar Yadav wasn't on the field for the major times of the South African inning during the SA vs IND 3rd T20I after twisting his ankle while fielding. The Indian skipper sustained the injury on his ankle in the third over of the Proteas' 202-run chase. He got off balance while throwing the ball after Reeza Hendricks played a shot toward infield. He was then carried off the field by the Indian support staff and physio. He didn't return to the field. Ravindra Jadeja led the team in Surya's absence and guided India to an impressive win over the Proteas.
Suryakumar's fourth t20i century helped Team India to score 201/7 in the 20 overs. Surya smashed his first T20I century as captain in 55 balls. He became the third batter to register four centuries in the shortest format. Averaging 78.00, the Indian skipper scored 156 runs in 2 innings against the Proteas. The No.1 T20I batter finished the year by scoring 733 runs in 18 matches.
Suryakumar opened up about the injury during the post-match presentation. "I am good. I am walking, so good. Always a good feeling. When it comes to a winning cause, it makes me happier," Suryakumar said. The skipper was named the Player of the Match as his century helped the team to put up a mammoth total.
