But Surya will have to work hard to break this record.
Rohit Sharma holds the record for scoring the most T20 International runs at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. He has scored 98 runs in the three matches he has played so far. Suryakumar will play T20 match for India for the first time on this ground. However, it will not be easy for him to break Rohit’s record of scoring the most runs. For this, he has to score 99 runs. It will not be easy for Surya to score big in this match.
