Suryakumar Yadav who has made heads turn with his blistering form at the T20 World Cup 2022 has also impressed England skipper Jos Butler. So much so, that the England opener feels that the Player of the tournament should be awarded to him.
In an interaction with ICC, Buttler whose team stormed into the finals with a thumping 10 wicket win over India said, 'I think Suryakumar Yadav for me has been someone who has played with extreme freedom. He has been incredibly eye-catching to watch in such a star-studded line-up. To stand out the way he has is amazing'
Yadav finished the tournament with 239 runs including three half-centuries in six innings. ICC had earlier unveiled a list of nine players that were in contention of getting the prize. The list featured Virat Kohli, SKY, Shadab Khan, Sam Curran, Shaheen Afridi, Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, Sikander Raza and Wanindu Hasaranga's name.
