There were a lot of eyes on Suryakumar Yadav as he walked out to bat in the fourth T20 international against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After a long wait, Suryakumar was going to bat for the first time in international cricket. He had toiled hard in domestic cricket for years and fans were excited to see how Surya will perform in national colours.
Many expected jitters. But that wasn’t the case as Surya smashed the first ball he faced for a six off England pacer Jofra Archer. Suryakumar anticipated the short ball and played a ramp shot over fine-leg to kickstart his international career.
Surya narrated how he planned for the stunning six off Archer.
“I am very happy with the way the things went. My plan was really clear when I went out to bat. I have seen Archer in the last two-three seasons in the IPL, I watched all of his games, whenever a new batsman comes in, what plans he has, obviously I had my plans as well,” added Suryakumar.
