The Indian cricket team has taken a 2-0 lead in the 5-match T20 series by defeating New Zealand in Raipur. In the second match, India had a target of 209 runs to win, chasing which India lost 2 wickets for 6 runs. After Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma flopped, but then Ishan Kishan (76) and Suryakumar Yadav (82) made this big target look trivial by playing stormy innings.

In the video shared by BCCI, Suryakumar Yadav praised Ishan Kishan and asked him, “The target is 209 runs, 2 wickets have fallen for 6 runs. I have never seen anyone bat like this in my life. What happened today?” To this Ishan Kishan replied, “The ball was looking very good to me, I did not even feel that they (New Zealand bowlers) would get me out on a good ball. Even on a good ball, I felt that I would play it comfortably.”

kept distance from social media

Ishaan Kishan asked Surya what was in your mind? On this, Surya said, “Whenever we go home, it comes to our mind that there is a coach sitting there too, with whom we are married. She also keeps telling me that you should take some time. She knows me very well, so I thought let’s take some time. I took it in the last match, took it today too. I was playing well in the nets, but was not able to score in the match. Then I got a little break, went home, stayed away from social media completely. 3 weeks I practiced well and the most important thing is to be happy.”

What did Suryakumar Yadav say for Abhishek Sharma?

Suryakumar Yadav said, “And this was to stop the talk in front of the world that India will win only if Abhishek Sharma scores runs. India will win only if Ishan scores runs. However, Abhishek Sharma is also my favorite batsman and I want him to score runs in every match. This is a team game, the team wins only because of the entire 11 players.”

Indian T20 cricket team captain Suryakumar Yadav arrived in England to watch Wimbledon’s match with his wife Devisha Shetty. He looked stylish with white coat pants. Here he revealed in an interview to the broadcaster that he also wants to play tennis twiner shot in cricket.

Suryakumar Yadav said in a conversation with Star Sports, “All shots played in tennis are difficult to play in cricket, but there is a shot that I think it can be the same in tennis and cricket. When the player runs backwards and kills the ball from the middle of both legs, it is called twinner (tweener shot in Tennis), which I want to play in cricket.

The third Test between India and England starts today

The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where the third Test will be played at Lord’s Cricket Ground from today. Suryakumar Yadav is not a part of this Test series, although he is in England, then today you can come to the stadium to watch the Test.

It is reported that after the cancellation of Bangladesh tour, the Sri Lanka Cricket Board has expressed his desire to play the series from BCCI, if it happened, this series can be held in August but maybe Surya will hardly play in this series.
