The flamboyant Indian batter, Suryakumar Yadav has said that he had the belief in himself that he can do well as an opener for India as he ended up scoring 76 off 44 balls on Tuesday against West Indies at Warner Park. He seems to be continuing the form in the 4th T20I of the 5-match series against West Indies as he smashed an audacious shot off the in-form bowler, Obed McCoy. at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill.
Earlier in the game, the West Indies skipper, Nicholas Pooran won the toss and decided to bowl first. While the hosts made no changes in their playing XI, India made as many as three changes as Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, and Shreyas Oyer made way for Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and Samson.

In the third over of the innings, Suryakumar Yadav churned out an audacious shot to smash a six off Obed McCoy. Both feet of the batter were off the ground as he whipped the ball of the wrists to hit this full-length delivery over wide long-on. The hosts looked like an extended version of the helicopter shot of the former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni.
Here is the video of the shot from Suryakumar Yadav:
