What did Suryakumar Yadav say about his knock? – Yadav credited Kohli for giving him the freedom to express himself. He, meanwhile, mentioned that the wicket looked two-paced but the total should be enough to defend under the given conditions.
“I’ve enjoyed batting here, enjoyed that partnership. When I went inside, Virat bhai just said keep batting the way you have been batting, so I just expressed myself. Good to see everyone come here and support us, my wife is also around so that’s a great support as well,” Yadav said in the mid-game interview.
“The wicket is a bit two-paced, it is a good score to defend. (On Virat Kohli) He has been batting amazingly, he has just stuck to his routines and processes. I’m really enjoying batting with him.”
