Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have struggled for runs in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Although India have played on a tough track of Nassau County, where runs have been hard to come by, but still, with the stature these stalwarts hold, they are expected to score runs in every condition.
So, are Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma still the biggest match-winners for India as of now? No says Harbhajan Singh. According to the former India bowler, another batsman has superseded them to get the tag in his eyes. Harbhajan Singh showers immense praise on Suryakumar Yadav India clinched the top spot in Group A, while co-hosts USA surpassed Babar Azam's Pakistan to secure the second spot in the T20 World Cup's knockout stage.
Reflecting on India's performance, spin-bowling legend Harbhajan Singh showered praise on Suryakumar Yadav, the top-ranked T20I batter. Suryakumar's standout performance in India's pivotal Group A match against USA was crucial, solidifying India's position at the top of the group standings.  
  "It's extremely important.
We always talk about match-winners. I feel Suryakumar Yadav is the biggest match-winner in this team because the day he plays, he not only wins the match but takes the match far away from the opposition. The opposition can't even think that they can win the game," Harbhajan told Star Sports. Suryakumar Yadav played a resilient innings, scoring a half-century to guide India to their highest successful run-chase in New York. He finished unbeaten on 50 from 49 balls in India's seven-wicket victory over USA. "He is a special player. He is a different-level player. It's good that runs came from his bat that day because if those runs hadn't come, it could have been a cause for worry. However, runs coming from his bat is an auspicious sign for India," he added.
