Skipper Rohit Sharma has praised the batting efforts of Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli in India’s six-wicket victory over Australia in the series-deciding third Twenty20 International and said every time he has seen him play, Yadav has taken his game a notch higher.
Yadav hammered a brilliant 69 off 48 deliveries to help India recover from 30/2 after losing openers Sharma and KL Rahul cheaply. He and Virat Kohli, who played steady and well-controlled innings, raised 104 runs for the third wicket to put India on road to victory.
He said Suryakumar Yadav has been pretty consistent with the bat every time he’s got an opportunity.
“When it comes to Surya, we all know the quality he has and he can play shots all over the ground and that is what makes him special. He is been pretty consistent with the bat every time he’s got an opportunity he’s played impactful innings for us,” said Sharma after Sunday’s match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium here.
He said every time he has got a chance, Yadav has taken his game a notch higher and also raised the level of his skills.
“So every time I see him he’s taken his game a notch higher which is a good sign as a player, whenever you see that you can raise the level of your skills and of what the team expects from you, and that’s a good sign I can see that in Surya. Every game I see of his, every game that he plays, he seems to be getting better and better every time he plays. And today’s was an exceptional innings — to come out and play the innings that he’s played.
“We were two down in the powerplay and to take the game away literally from the opposition was a fantastic effort,” said Sharma.
