Suryakumar revealed the secret behind his unconventional shots during the mid-innings break.
“I haven’t practiced those strokes before, but when I was younger and used to play with my friends, we used to play a lot of rubber ball cricket on hard cement, so it all came from there,” Suryakumar said at the halfway point.
“I felt it (the pitch) was sticky before, and later, when I was sitting and talking with Rohit bhai and Rishabh, I said that when I bat, I will try to take the tempo up a notch. We were aiming for 170-175 pounds, but the way things were going, I just kept expressing myself. I’m very pleased with how things turned out. On this wicket, I believe it is a good score.”
