Watch: In IPL 2020, Suryakumar Yadav played an incredible reverse-ramp against Jofra Archer, the same bowler he smacked for an outrageous six during the fourth T20I against England on Thursday, March 18.

While Suryakumar made his debut in the second T20I, he did not get to bat in the game. Promoted to No.3 in the fourth game, SKY grabbed his opportunity with both hands. In a display of unflappable confidence, he smacked a short ball from Archer over the fine leg boundary, lifting his front leg into the air.
That confidence wasn’t misplaced. He’s played similar shots against quality fast bowlers in the Indian Premier League, including Jofra Archer. In an IPL 2020 encounter against Rajasthan Royals, he played a ridiculous ramp shot against the England pacer.
