After smashing a half-century against Australia in the first ODI at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali, Suryakumar Yadav shared his thoughts on his impressive performance, expressing his long-standing aspirations for such innings in the 50-over format.
“I was dreaming of this type of innings when I started playing this format. Trying to bat deep and finishing the game, unfortunately couldn’t do it )before), but very happy with the result. I’d been wondering what had been happening for me in this format, the teams and bowlers were the same.
“I went back and reflected and realized I was probably rushing things a bit so I decided to play slower and take it deep. Want to try and bat the same way, bat deep, try and win games for India,” he said after scoring 50 off 49 balls,” he added.
Under the leadership of KL Rahul, the Indian team secured a notable victory against Australia in the opening ODI of their three-match series, winning by five wickets.
