After the match, captain Suryakumar Yadav said how impressed he was with his team,which makes is his job easy. “The way the boys are stepping up in every game, it’s making my job very easy. The boys showed a lot of character. They were calm after the first 10 overs (of India’s bowling). After drinks, I told them the game starts now.”
Jasprit Bumrah had a rare bad day. Surya stood by him. “That’s fine, he’s not a robot. He will have a bad day someday. (Shivam) Dube bailed us out of the situation.”
