India's Suryakumar Yadav named ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year

India's Suryakumar Yadav has been named the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year.

In 2022, Surya amassed 1164 runs, including 2 brilliant hundreds and 9 fifties from 31 matches. He became only the second player to score 1000+ T20 International runs in a calendar year, averaging 46.56 with an incredible strike rate of 187.43 last year.

The 32-year-old is also the current World No. 1 in the T20 rankings for batters. He currently has 908 rating points to his name, only second to the all-time 915-point record held by Dawid Malan. And he can very well break the Englishman's record in the upcoming 3-match series against New Zealand.
