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.
