Surya showed why he is rated the world's best T20 batter, says Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube had the best seat in the house as he enjoyed his Mumbai mate Suryakumar Yadav finally display the wide range of shots he is known for. It was Suryakumar's first fifty plus score after 23 innings, silencing his doubters ahead of the T20 World Cup at home next month. The Indian captain shared an unbeaten 81-run stand with Dube as India made short work of the 209-run target set by New Zealand. Batting ahead of Hardik Pandya considering the left-right combination, Dube made an 18-ball 36. "I was asked about Surya's form in a press conference not so long ago. That's when I said that he is the type of player, when he will show his form, the world will know what type of player he is. So, today he showed Suryakumar Yadav, why he is the number one T20 batter. "So, I enjoyed a lot. And it felt really good to see him," said Dube. Before Suryumar-Dube stand, Kishan took the game away from the opposition with a 32-ball 76 in his comeback series..

You never contain players like Kohli, they control the game: Kyle Jamieson

Having been a rival as well as a teammate to Virat Kohli, New Zealand all-rounder Kyle Jamieson says he can only marvel at the Indian superstar's craft as he operates at a "different level", one where great batters have their way even if bowlers try to contain them. Kohli looked set for a record-extending 54th ODI century on Sunday in the opening ODI against the Kiwis that India won by four wickets. However, Kohli fell seven runs short of his milestone when the imposing Kiwi bowler had him caught at mid-off for 93. Jamieson, who has shared the dressing room with Kohli at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL, said it's tough to determine if the Indian batter has been at his best right now. "It's hard to say from an opposition point of view whether this is the best version of him or not -- he's been pretty good for a long time, right?," Jamieson told the media after Sunday's loss. "You feel every time you come up against him, you've got to be at your absolute best to even compete.
