Showcasing a wide array of shots, Surya’s ton came at a jaw-dropping strike rate of over 220.
Surya now hit 3 centuries in the last 7 months. His other centuries have come against England (117) in Nottingham and against New Zealand (111*) in Mount Maunganui.
Surya eventually finished on an unbeaten 122 off just 51 balls as he powered India to 228 for 5 in 20 overs.
