Suryakumar Yadav's record on target of Ishan Kishan, can create history in T20I series against New Zealand

by

IND vs NZ T20I: Indian cricket team’s tour of New Zealand is scheduled to start from October 22. The tour will begin with a five-match T20 series, the first match of which will be played at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. In this series, Indian star wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan has a great opportunity to make a special record against New Zealand.

In fact, the record of scoring the most runs in T20 International matches between India and New Zealand is currently in the name of former Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav. Suryakumar has scored 526 runs in 14 T20 International matches against New Zealand. At the same time, Ishan Kishan has played 12 matches against this team so far, in which he has scored 372 runs at an average of 31.

In such a situation, Ishan Kishan will have to score 155 runs in this series to break Suryakumar Yadav’s record. If he scores so many runs in the five-match series, he will become the highest run-scorer Indian batsman in T20 International against New Zealand. Since Ishaan has five matches, he has a good chance of making this record.

Batsmen who scored the most runs in India-New Zealand T20I

  1. Suryakumar Yadav – 14 matches, 526 runs
  2. Rohit Sharma – 17 matches, 511 runs
  3. Tim Seifert – 16 matches, 477 runs

  8. Ishan Kishan – 12 matches, 372 runs
Ishaan close to completing 2000 runs in T20I
Ishan Kishan has a chance to achieve another big achievement in this T20 series against New Zealand. He is just 46 runs away from completing 2000 runs in T20 International cricket. So far, Ishaan has scored 1954 runs in 66 T20 International matches at an average of 31.51 and strike rate of 148.81. If Ishan scores 46 runs in this series, he will become the seventh Indian batsman to complete 2000 runs in T20 International cricket.
