With the hosts reeling at 66/3, Suryakumar came out to bat. He took some time to settle his nerves before shifting gears in the final five overs.
Speaking about the impact he has had in a limited time on the international circuit, the cricketer from Mumbai stressed on having quality training sessions.
Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Suryakumar Yadav said:
Suryakumar played a fine knock of 65 runs from 31 deliveries, which included one boundary and seven sixes to put India in the driver’s seat. He added 91 runs for the fifth wicket alongside Venkatesh Iyer to guide India to 184 runs.
It proved to be too much for Kieron Pollard & Co, who fell 17 runs short despite another valiant effort from Nicholas Pooran, who scored his third half-century on the trot.
“It was very important to stay till the end” - Suryakumar Yadav
The 31-year-old stressed that the idea was to bat till the end after Rohit Sharma got out with no specialized batter to follow.
Surykumar Yadav signed off with 107 runs under his belt in three matches at a strike-rate in excess of 190.
His next assignment will be against Sri Lanka, when India host the Islanders for three T20Is and two Tests.
