Suryakumar Yadav, with his blazing 111 against New Zealand in the second T20I on Sunday (November 20), proved his batting prowess yet again and showed why he is the Numero Uno in the shortest format of the game. But surprisingly New Zealand's veteran pacer, who snared a sensational hat-trick in the same match, said that Suryakumar will have to prove himself consistently to become India's best in the T20Is.
