In the second Twenty20 international, India cruised to an easy victory over the team led by Williamson thanks to a brilliant knock by Suryakumar. Williamson heaped praise on the Indian batter while reflecting on New Zealand's performance after the match. The Indian batter was the one who made the most significant contribution to the outcome of the second match of the three-match series.
"It was not up to our usual standards. The innings that Surya batted in were phenomenal. One of the most impressive blows I've ever witnessed. I'd never seen some of those photos before, so that was very cool.
They were exceptional, although we fell short of expectations. We were unable to build any momentum with the ball, failed to take a sufficient number of wickets, and failed to build any momentum with the bat, either "Williamson said on the game after it was over.
Suryakumar managed to match Rohit Sharma's remarkable Twenty20 International accomplishment with his quick-fire century against the semi-finalists of the Twenty20 World Cup 2022. This enabled Suryakumar to extend his free-scoring streak in the shortest format.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fine details.
There are occasions when an extraordinary inning is possible, and Surya is the finest player in the world," Williamson continued. Because of his outstanding performance at the plate, Suryakumar was deemed the match's Player of the Match and received the award.
