Suryakumar Yadav Hundred in Trent Bridge: The third match of the ongoing T20 series between India and England is to be played at the historic Trent Bridge ground in Nottingham. There is huge excitement among cricket fans about this match, because the history of both the teams on this beautiful and high-scoring ground has been quite interesting. While the Indian team would like to improve its record on this ground, the memories of the year 2022 have once again become fresh in the minds of the fans when there was a heavy rain of runs on the Nottingham ground.
When even Surya’s ‘Toofan’ could not bring victory to India
The most interesting history of this ground is related to the only T20 match played between India and England in the year 2022. In that match, the England team, batting first, had thrashed the Indian bowlers and posted a huge score of 215 runs on the board. After the Indian team’s top order faltered while chasing the mountain-like target of 216 runs, a cyclone named Suryakumar Yadav came on the field.
Surya had dismantled the English bowlers by playing 360 degree shots around the field. He played a blazing century inning of 117 runs in just 55 balls, which included 14 brilliant fours and 6 skyscraper sixes. Suryakumar Yadav single-handedly took India to the threshold of victory, but due to lack of support from any batsman from the other end, India lost that match by 17 runs. That century of Surya is counted among the greatest innings in T20 International history.
Will Team India change history?
Forgetting the previous defeat, the Indian team will take the field this time in Nottingham with the intention of writing a new script. This is going to be the best opportunity for the captain and the team management to improve their record against England at Trent Bridge and overcome the dilemma of 2022. At the same time, this time also the fans are going to expect an innings like Suryakumar Yadav from one of the players of Team India.
