Following the match, the 32-year-old was asked about his comparison with the former South African skipper and batting legend AB de Villiers. Following the question, Suryakumar came up with a very humble reply and subsequently won AB’s heart for that.
“There is only one 360-degree player in the world, and I will try to play like him,” said Suryakumar Yadav on being named as ‘Mr. 360’.
This reply from Suryakumar Yadav went heartwarming with AB de Villiers. The former Proteas veteran compelled him to congratulate the Indian team’s ‘player of the match against Zimbabwe in the last super-12 encounter of this World Cup.
