Following India’s victory over the United States in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, former right-arm seamer lauded right-hand batter Suryakumar Yadav following his magnificent batting performance at the Nassau International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Suryakumar played an unbeaten innings of 50 runs from 49 balls which was laced with two fours and sixes each in his innings at a strike rate of 102.04 against the hosts.
The pacer while speaking to ESPNCricinfo, praised the performance of Suryakumar Yadav in the match against the US.
Like any very good batsman, he understood the pace of the wicket. He understood what he had to do on such a wicket. And he knew that once he gets set, he could back himself to play whatever shots he wanted to towards the end of his innings. And that’s exactly what he did. A guy like Surya cannot lose his wicket up early. He has to give himself that time and finish the innings. And that’s what he did today. It was not easy at all, Aaron said.
The fast bowler further stated that the fans should appreciate Suryakumar’s innings that he has played today.
Dubey was struggling. If there was a new batter who came in after Surya was 20 of 28 balls, the new batsman would have come in on a wicket which he just did not have any time on. That would have been really bad news for India. So, people should really appreciate what Surya has done for India today.
