“It was one of the best moments for me. After taking a hit, I thought my brain had been replaced! Keeping the jokes apart, Hardik (Pandya) was on the other end. He was like: ‘Boss, this is the moment. something different. ‘ I just asked him, with his experience, what would he (Archer) do with this field. What is he going to try now? He felt like he could throw a yorker. ”I was like, ‘Let’s get ready for that. That (reverse scoop) is actually one of the shots that I was practicing during the home lockdown. Without thinking about anything else, I tried and executed really well, and I was very happy about that, “Yadav said in a media interaction Thursday.

When you play shots and punches like these, surely your anticipation of a first call from India must multiply. “First, from a team point of view, I really feel good about contributing and winning. Second, I felt like I was hitting really well the last two or three games and even during practice sessions. I just thought this hit was yet to come, and it had to come, today or tomorrow, but obviously not too late! Since the last two or three years, I have hit very well in the white ball tournaments in the country. Cricket and in the IPL. So I’m looking forward to that break soon. ”
After his fiery 47 ball, 79 undefeated in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals, Irfan Pathan, the former all-rounder from India, tweeted: “It will be very disappointing if @ surya_14kumar does not find a place in the Indian team with this guy. A form … #wattaplayer “. That thought was shared by former India starter Aakash Chopra, who wrote: “Surya Kumar Yadav for the Indian T20 Team #MI.”

Indeed, Yadav has been hitting like a dream in white ball cricket, which is why his exclusion from India’s limited overs team is a mystery to many. At the Vijay Hazare Trophy last year, he managed 226 runs in eight games with an incredible 113.00 average. At Syed Mushtaq Ali T20, he hit 392 runs at 11 [email protected], including four in the fifty. At the Deodhar Trophy, he threw an undefeated 72 with just 29 balls for India C against India A.
As of late, Yadav has admitted to being extremely anxious about the chance of being chosen every time a team from India is announced, but has been disappointed with the inexplicable snub. Even his father searches the papers the next day to find his name on the chosen team, only to be told to ‘wait next time’. It is a ‘mini-tragedy’ that Yadav has learned to cope with.
“Since the last two or three years I have matured and I know how I want to approach the game. I have realized that if I continue behind the call, it will continue to go far. I am only focusing on the process and the result will be fixed automatically. In the last two or three years, I have hit well and I know that something good is around the corner, “he said.
Maybe you need to be consistent. These were his first fifty at IPL-13, and his total tally marks 180 runs in six [email protected]. “Since yesterday, I just went through my hit in the last game. I was looking at what I did right in that (inning) and what went wrong in the last games. So yeah, consistency will be the key. same things I did in the last innings, “he analyzed.
Have an IPL captain in a Mumbaikar partner Rohit sharma, who has seen batting for Mumbai in national cricket, has helped Yadav endlessly. Explain why Yadav is hitting the crucial # 3 position for MI. “I have blindly relied on Rohit bhai’s suggestions. Every time I meet him or interact with him, I learn something new. He has been brilliant and every time I sit down with him, I try to grasp everything I can from him. He has done it. very well in international cricket over the years.
“Since I’m hitting on top now, he shares the same experience as to what he did. He also explains different situations and what he’s been through (in his career). He has given me certain suggestions and I’ve tried them ever since. I started. to hit higher in the order in 2018. He’s always there and it’s a great feeling to have him around and help us with little things, “Yadav said.
The hitter attributed IM’s excellent form to a preseason camp the team had in Mumbai. “I think the camp in Mumbai was the first when it came to preparing to go into the IPL. The players who came together at that time when there was a crisis helped us a lot mentally. So when we arrived, we were already mentally ready to go. what is expected of us. The camp was set up in such a way that the conditions were more or less the same as we have here and that helped us prepare for the conditions. The camp also gave us an idea of what will happen when it resumes cricket, “he said.
At camp, IM players seem to have prepared to play in front of empty crowds. “They (Rohit, Jasprit bumrah Y Hardik pandya) are all mentally strong and I have played domestic cricket not only with Rohit Bhai, but also with Jasprit when it started. They have also played without the crowds in domestic cricket and had a discussion about that as well on how to do it. During the camp we also talked about how you need to focus on your own plans and processes. ”
