India vs Sri Lanka, 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav ton blazes on Twitter - 'Too good for this planet's bowlers'

Suryakumar Yadav singed Sri Lanka with another display of breathtaking strokeplay that brought India's 360-degree batter his third T20I century en route to the home team's series-clinching win in the third and deciding T20I against Sri Lanka in Rajkot on Saturday.

Batting at No. 4, Surya deflated the Sri Lanka attack during his 51-ball unbeaten stay that saw him scoring 112 runs, including 9 sixes and 7 fours, at a strike rate of 219.61.

Surya's century powered India to 228/5 in their 20 overs, after which Arshdeep Singh put his 'no-ball' horror in the second T20I behind to lead India's attack with his 3/20.

Sri Lanka were bowled out for 137 as India won by 91 runs to clinch the series 2-1.

Hardik Pandya, Umran Malik and Yuzvendra Chahal took two wickets apiece in India's all-round show
