Appreciation for Sanju Samson’s Selfless Batting
Surya said about Sanju Samson‘s innings, “He is reaping the fruits of the hard work he has done in the last 10 years. Even when he was batting on 90, he was trying to hit boundaries. This shows that he was playing for the team and not for himself. This reflects his character.”
Regarding the match plan, Suryakumar Yadav said, “We were looking for the important wickets of Klaasen and Miller. The way the Indian spinners performed was unbelievable. As I had already said in the toss and press conference the players have made my job easy.
I do not need to take too much load. The players are having fun inside and outside the field, which has made my job easy. The kind of cricket we play, even if we lose some wickets, we want to play without any fear. This is a T20 game and if you can score 200 runs in 17 overs, then what is the problem.”
