Delhi Capitals’ director of cricket, Sourav Ganguly jumped on the bandwagon, “Suryakumar Yadav the best T20 player in the world…it seems he bats on a computer.”
“Much needed from team’s point of view. I am very happy to win a home game like this. I mean they come up with a plan. They tried to make me hit to the bigger part. Take the pace off and bowl slow. I said Nehal let’s hit it hard and hit it into the gaps and run hard. Your practice has to be the same what you intend to do in matches. I know where my runs are. We have open net sessions. I know my game. I don’t do anything different,” talked about the participant of the match.
