India VS NewZealand: Suryakumar Yadav is the only T20 batsman in India's XI 

The Mumbai batsman has had to wait a long time to get his chance in the team but is determined to ensure he never lets go of the spot now that he's earned it. 

Indeed, such is the consistency shown in the T20I format that he is, at present, India's best batsman. And that includes Virat Kohli. 

But what is the secret behind his success? According to the man, it's just about enjoying himself out in the middle. 

"I'm enjoying batting this way, I've been doing the same thing in the nets, all practice sessions and going out [to the middle], all these things happening, I'm very happy with that," he told the broadcasters after scoring a ton in the match. 

The key to Suryakumar Yadav's approach is not fearing what happens if things go wrong. T20 cricket is a format that is both high risk and high reward. And SKY has cracked that code better than any Indian batsman. 

Most of India's other batters will be circumspect first before going for their big shots later. This can work for some players – see Virat Kohli– but not everyone. 

Also, T20I cricket has evolved beyond the 'take the game deep' template that MS Dhoni popularized and that the Indian team are still swearing by. 

Nowadays, it's about taking risks through the game, depending on the circumstances. And most importantly, it is about being aggressive more often than not. 

Take a look at England, the current world champions. They bat deep not to give a cushion to their top order but to ensure they have enough hard hitters through the line-up. 

Australia, too bat deep, and this isn't as a safeguard – it's done to ensure they can play on the front foot as often as possible. 

And this is where Suryakumar Yadav is at his best. While other Indian batters look to play out a few dot balls, he seems to start his innings with a boundary. 

When others make a quickfire fifty, they might slow down a tad. Not Suryakumar Yadav; he will double his pace as if there was no tomorrow. 

And most importantly, he doesn't fear what happens if he fails. Combine that with a meticulous sense of planning – he once admitted he plans out three shots to play before the ball is even bowled – and you can see why he's mastered the T20 format. 

The sad part for India is that more Suryakumar Yadavs can't simply be manufactured. The majority of batters India have are slightly on the conservative side. 

It doesn't help that the ones who can play aggressively are either still being kept out – see Sanju Samson– or are dealing with losses of form – see Rishabh Pant or Shreyas Iyer. 

And until India can produce more batters with the same mindset as SKY, they will continue to struggle in T20Is.
