What Surya Said
"Scoring a high number of runs during the Powerplay is nothing new. The period between the 7th and 10th overs is the prime time to seize control of the match. The way all the bowlers shouldered responsibility—they displayed tremendous spirit. We witnessed some highly aggressive batting in this contest. Just a few days ago, we posted a total of 244 runs, yet Hyderabad managed to chase it down. Chasing a target of 229 runs required a solid start. Our batsmen remained in control throughout the innings. The way Naman Dhir and the rest of the team batted towards the end was simply magnificent." — Suryakumar Yadav, Acting Captain, Mumbai Indians
