'If you are number 1 then you have to...' Suryakumar said this big thing before the Super-8 match, eager to play on the pitches of West Indies

The performance of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024 has been strong so far. India topped Group A with three wins and 7 points. India will face Afghanistan in the Super-8. Before the match on June 20, the world's number-1 T20I player Suryakumar Yadav made a big statement. India's star batsman says that if you are the number batsman, then you should know how to play in different situations.

The Indian team will start its campaign against Afghanistan in the Super-8. On Thursday, both teams will face each other in Barbados. After this, India will also take on Bangladesh in St. Luciana. In its last Super-8 match, India will face Australia in Antigua. After the tough pitch of New York, India has to play matches on Caribbean pitches. Suryakumar is very excited about this.

Emphasis on intelligence in batting

"Suryakumar said, if you are the number one batsman for the last two years, then you should know how to play according to different situations. Also, you should know what the team needs. This makes you a better batsman, this is what I try to do. When you are not getting any help from the pitch, it becomes difficult to play a shot, when someone is aware of your way of playing. At that time you have to bat intelligently."

Played a half-century innings in New York

It is worth noting that Suryakumar played an unbeaten half-century innings against America on the difficult pitch of New York. After three wickets fell early, Suryakumar Yadav played cautiously and scored an unbeaten 50 off 49 balls, and played an important role in getting the team victory. Earlier, a big innings did not come out of his bat against Ireland and Pakistan. However, big innings can be seen from his bat on the pitch of West Indies.
