I don’t like to talk too much, the last time I talked too much I was out for zero twice, I want to keep it simple and focus on what I can do. (That’s) what our captain (Suryakumar Yadav) was expecting from us, and we are happy that we accomplished it.

Surya further said- Seeing Rohit Sharma’s batting in the Kanpur Test, it felt as if the T20 series has started. This was exactly Rohit Sharma’s approach to batting.
