IND vs SA 2022: Guwahati witnessed some carnage from the bats of Indian batters against South Africa in the ongoing second T20I. All of the Indian batters came out firing, hitting all of the opposition bowlers to all parts of the ground. However, it was once again India’s “Mr. 360” Suryakumar Yadav who ended up playing yet another blistering innings.

SKY once again showed his ability to hit the ball all around the ground. He scored India’s joint-fastest fifty off just 18 balls and scored 61 off just 22 balls, 5 fours and 5 maximums. He equalled the record of KL Rahul for the second fastest fifty for India.

Yuvraj Singh holds the record for a 12-ball half-century, which came against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Apart from SKY, Rahul also played well for his 57 off 28 balls, with four boundaries and four sixes.
