ENG vs IND 2022: Top 10 Suryakumar Yadav memes after his stunning century in the 3rd T20I
Suryakumar Yadav once again proved he is worth his weight in gold in the T20 format with a sensational century in the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge on Sunday.
In a chase of 216 runs, the 31-year-old Mumbaikar shepherded the team well after a top-order collapse and singlehandedly brought them near the target.
However, the lack of support from the other end resulted in an exponential increase in the required rate. It eventually led to Suryakumar Yadav's departure in the 19th over while trying to smash a boundary. Despite his valiant effort, Team India fell short by 17 runs in the end.
Even though his century went in vain, Indian cricket fans applauded Suryakumar Yadav for playing a magnificent knock. They heaped praise on him in their unique way by sharing some fascinating memes on social media platforms.
Here is a collection of the best memes:

"He's been phenomenal for sometime now"- Rohit Sharma on Suryakumar Yadav after his century
India captain Rohit Sharma stated that Suryakumar Yadav has been impressive for quite a while now and has a wide repertoire of shots, which makes him a pivotal member of any side. Speaking at the post-match presentation after the third T20I, Rohit hailed Yadav's positive approach.
"Was a fantastic chase, although we fell short in the end, we've shown the fight and something that I'm proud of. And talking about Surya, he's been phenomenal for sometime now.
"I've been watching him for a while now, he's got a wide range of shots, unorthodox but it works, never lets the tempo down, something very interesting for us to get him in the squad and he's grown as a player."
Sharma also shed some light on the takeaways from the game as the team management tried a few experiments in the dead rubber.
"We wanted to try out our options, certain guys under pressure can come on top or not. Obviously we need to keep working on things, we need to understand where we lack and keep working towards it.
"So far, things are looking pretty good, we want to be a team, just don't sit on laurels, we want to keep moving forward as a team, try and get better as a team, these sort of games will help us learn a lot."
Team India will now shift their focus to the three-match ODI series, which will commence on July 12 at the Kennington Oval in London.
