Suryakumar Yadav has delivered the first Indian masterclass -- and rescue act -- of the T20 World Cup to help dig the tournament favourites and co-hosts out of an embarrassing hole before they eased to a 29-run victory in their opening match against the USA.
The massive outsiders were giving their illustrious hosts a real scare on Saturday at Mumbai's shocked Wankhede Stadium as they reduced them to a limping 6-77.
The Indians were still struggling at 7-118 with just 3.2 overs remaining -- and it could have been worse if catches hadn't been spilled -- until Yadav, the man the nation knows as SKY, produced his extraordinary finishing tour de force.
