The Indian batter has truly made his mentor, Yuvraj Singh, proud today, as the latter holds the record for the fastest T20I fifty by an Indian. The legendary all-rounder achieved the feat against the same opposition at the T20 World Cup 2007 back in September 2007, where he smashed Stuart Broad for those iconic 6 sixes off an over, and scored his fifty in just 12 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener, Jason Roy, lit up the Wankhede Stadium with a stunning fifty in the 5th T20I against England. Roy’s explosive innings set the tone for the rest of the match, as he smashed boundaries all around the ground and showcased his immense talent with the bat.
The English opener’s fifty came off just 30 balls, as he dismantled the England bowlers with ease. His aggressive approach put the opposition on the back foot from the very beginning, and he continued to pile on the runs with his aggressive stroke play.
Roy’s innings was a display of pure class and power, as he effortlessly found the gaps and sent the ball flying to all parts of the ground. His ability to accelerate the run rate and keep the scoreboard ticking over was crucial for SRH, as they posted a competitive total for England to chase.
Overall, it was a masterful display of batting from Jason Roy, and his fifty was a testament to his skill and talent as a top-order batsman. SRH will be hoping that he can continue his good form in the upcoming matches and lead them to victory in the T20I series.
