Suryakumar Yadav is definitely one of the best right now in the whole world. And he is definitely someone who can create different shots on the spot. So he is definitely a better T-20 player in my opinion.

Not one of the best but best T-20 batter, his ranking points suggest that despite the recent decline. At one point he was way too ahead of the rest of the batter in terms of points, at least 100 points.

It implies pure domination and it hardly happens in the ranking. I might be wrong but i think only Ab de Villiers had the same margin.

That’s because he is confident, almost always. He can hit the ball in almost any direction. And that is very necessary when you are playing the shortest format of cricket. You have to score runs, does not matter how they come. And he does that very well.

The only problem is when he is not confident, he’s going to try those things less. And so he will have to be always confident in trying different shots. A player being in form is definitely relative. And if he is in form, he is definitely a scary batsman.

Big disappointment at the Caribbean Premier League. Out of the 6 matches so far, 4 got washed out. Today's match is between Jamaica Tallawahs and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and there is a good chance that this one will also get washed out. I was looking forward to see Brandon King, Imad Wasim and Dewald Brevis in action today, but weather forecast is not that favorable. We can't blame the organizers as well. The franchise T20 league calendar is packed and they are being forced to move their schedule every now and then.

The match have begun and SKN Patriots were in trouble as they've lost 4 wickets scoring 50 runs in 7 overs. Caribbean Premier League is one among the most watched T20 league. For Jamaica Tallawahs Salman Irshad have taken 3 wickets. Ambati Rayudu who had been match changer for CSK is in Jamaica Tallawahs and in this match he had walked back without any runs.

This is definitely going to anger a lot of people. Especially the sponsors who have not gotten much exposure. And the quality of the tournament is also going to reduce. It is a big problem with cricket that it cannot be played if there is rain. But it is what it is. and in these tournaments, there are not any reserve dates. Actually, we do not see reserve dates in even ICC tournaments. So we cannot expect to see a reserve date for these matches in these tournaments.

I agree that we cannot blame the organizers. And with the current climate change, things are becoming hard to predict. It is a lot harder to predict if it is going to rain or not. I don’t weather in general has become hard to predict.
