I was just trying to express myself: Suryakumar
Netherlands eventually failed to chase down the mammoth total and managed to put on only 123 runs in reply. Suryakumar, who remained unbeaten at 51 runs with a strike rate of 204, was adjourned the Player of the Match.
The talented batter, who opined on his innings after receiving the award, said that he tried to express himself and added that he enjoyed batting with Kohli at the other end. Further, he said that he was happy with the way things went for team India in the match.
“I was just trying to express myself when I went in to bat. The situation was very simple, I just had to up the tempo at that time. I took one ball today (to get going), but the message was loud and clear. We had to get about 8-10 an over and get a total which our bowlers could defend easily. Very happy with the way things went,” Suryakumar said after receiving the award.
“Really enjoying batting with him (Kohli), the thoughts are very clear when we both are batting. If I get few boundaries earlier then our partnership needs to be stretched and that's what we are doing,” said the batter further.
