India’s vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav returns to where he made his international debut almost two years ago in T20I against England.
“When I walked into the dressing room, I told my team manager that I was back where it all started. I have great memories here,” Suryakumar told reporters on his third T20I with New Zealand. spoke at the conference.
“It’s a beautiful stadium with a fantastic crowd. It’s going to be an exciting match tomorrow,” said Suryakumar. Suryakumar found no problem with the spin-prone tendencies of the first two T20Is. This was in contrast to Captain Hardik Pandya, who described the surface of Lucknow as a “shocker”.
“It doesn’t matter if you play on red or black soil. This is out of your control. We adapted to the situation in the previous match and did the best we could. A goal that was missed but exciting.” It was a great match. Whether it’s a T20 or a 50-over, it’s always exciting when teams play against each other. Ticket gates don’t matter. We have to accept the challenge and move forward,” said Suryakumar, who went unbeaten in 31 balls and 26 games at Lucknow.
The Mumbai batsman was called up for his first two Tests against Australia. For Suryakumar, he’s an opportunity to extend his success on the white ball into the longest format. “Obviously everyone wants to play Test cricket. When you start your domestic career, let’s start with red ball cricket. It’s exciting. But at the same time, I’m focused on tomorrow’s match.” Surya kumar said.
