Match scene
Surya after match
When the tournament started, I was mentally here but physically [at the National Cricket Academy] in Bangalore,” Suryakumar told the host broadcaster after the match. “When I came here, it felt like I never left. When chasing 200 at Wankhede, it is important to know the dew factor. If it is there, then you have to take your chances.I just try to play the field, I have practised these shots a lot. It is just in my muscle memory – I go and enjoy it. The slice over point for six I enjoyed the most.”
After the game, Suryakumar revealed that he never faces Jasprit Bumrah in the nets because “he either breaks my bat or my foot!” Suryakumar versus Bumrah last played out in the open in IPL 2017, when the former was with Kolkata Knight Riders.
