It was really exciting to see someone from the Mumbai area go out there and win the world. In Bombay, it was all beyond the schools and cricketers in Bandra, but Rohit started it in the suburbs, and from there we all followed. I have played Under-19 with Sanju, Kuldeep and Axar. Surya and I grew up playing for Mumbai- Saurabh Netravalkar Saurabh Netravalkar said that he and Suryakumar Yadav are close friends since childhood. The fast bowler said while talking, Suryakumar has been a really close friend. I have seen him since our Under-15 days, we grew up playing together for Mumbai. He was always special, he scored double centuries in Under-15 and Under-17 matches. He had that talent and we knew he would do something special in the future. He got a chance to play for India late after me, but I am really happy for him. I am excited to meet him and it is an opportunity to play not only against him but also against many players we have played with. I don’t know how to get Surya out, but I think I will just try to play my role, what the team needs from me, and we will see how it goes.

USA vs BAN: After crushing Bangladesh, Harmeet Singh warned other teams
Don’t always get a chance to win games against such big teams: Harmeet Singh Harmeet Singh Before the start of the T20 World Cup, USA has issued a warning to other teams by defeating Bangladesh not to take them lightly. on 21 may houston USA achieved a spectacular victory by defeating Bangladesh by five wickets in the first T20 match of the three-match series played in .

We don’t always get a chance to win a game against such a big team – Harmeet Singh After the match, Harmeet was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, you don’t always get a chance to win the game every day against such a big team. The way the boys are training, it is an individual effort from everyone. It means a lot for us to perform well against Bangladesh. He said, we are not going to give any walkover. I believe that we have immense potential. We have many match-winning players in our team. This gives us an edge. Now we also bat well (like anyone else). Harmeet further said, we were confident that Fitz would bowl against the wind, but when I saw him bowling from the other end, in the direction of the wind, I felt that we had a chance to bowl 20 runs from the other side. I think either they took us for granted, or I don’t know. They did not have bowlers to bowl from the other side. He finally said, I told the boys before the match that on paper Bangladesh is a good team, but if we lose without fighting, it will not send a good message. We know the wicket because it is our home condition. We know everything about this ground. This is a T20 format. After a few blows we can corner them and end the match.
