Suryakumar also spoke about his chat with West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard during the first ODI.
“Pollard told me a few things. ‘Midwicket was open, why are you not flicking like you do in IPL’ but it was different here. I feel the track was almost the same as it was in the afternoon. But due to dew, it became slightly easier in the chase,” said Suryakumar.
