While at least one of Rohit and Maxwell’s century has come as an opener, Suryakumar is the only batter to have got all his centuries playing in the middle order.
He’s now the second Indian captain to hit T20I century as captain after Rohit Sharma, who has two to his name.
This is Suryakumar’s third T20I century outside India after Nottingham and Mount Maunganui. His other hundred came in Rajkot against Sri Lanka.
