'A Perfect Compass In Motion': Internet Goes Frenzy Over Suryakumar Yadav's Masterclass In India vs USA T20 World Cup Opener At Wankhede

Defending champions India are currently locking horns with the USA at the Wankhede Stadium for their T20 World Cup opener match. At the commencement of the match, the USA won the toss and opted to bowl, inviting India to bat first.

However, things did not look good for the hosts, as star batter Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a golden duck, while his opening partner Ishan Kishan only managed to register 20 runs before he walked back to the pavilion. What followed this was a batting collapse by India as the hosts lost wickets in quick succession.

However, despite the gloom, skipper Suryakumar Yadav came to the rescue and smashed 84 runs off 49 deliveries to propel India to set a target of 161 runs for USA to chase. Following the 1st innings, the internet exploded with praises for the India skipper.
