New Delhi: The T20 series between India and South Africa is going to start on Tuesday, December 9. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has a chance for some important achievements in this series.

Surya is getting a chance to join the ranks of legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. He has suffered a bit of poor form recently, and will be looking to regain his old form ahead of the T20 World Cup.

T20 series begins

The 5-match T20 series will begin on December 9 at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Earlier, South Africa had won the Test series 2-0, while the Indian team had won the ODI series 2-1. Now both the teams are ready to compete in the T20 series.

Big opportunity for Suryakumar Yadav

If Surya scores 246 runs in this 5-match T20 series, he will complete 3000 runs in T20 International cricket. Till now only Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have done such a feat for India. If Surya does this, he will become the third batsman.

59 runs needed

Furthermore, Surya needs 59 runs to complete 9000 runs in T20 cricket. If he scores this score, he will become the fourth Indian batsman to do so. Earlier this feat has been achieved by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.

Suryakumar Yadav needs 6 sixes

If Surya hits 6 sixes in this series, he will complete 400 sixes in T20 format. Before this, only Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli could reach this number. This is an important occasion for them.

Opportunity to leave Virat Kohli behind

Surya also has a chance to leave Virat Kohli behind in the first match. He has so far scored 372 runs in T20 against South Africa, while Kohli has 394 runs in his name. If Surya scores 23 runs, he will leave Kohli behind in this matter, while Rohit Sharma is at the first place with 429 runs.
