"We wanted to play a fearless brand of cricket"- Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav
At the post-match presentation, Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav reflected on his knock and the win, saying:
"It's always a good feeling to get a triple-figure score in T20 cricket, but when it's in a winning cause for the team, more than happy in doing that. As I said, we wanted to play a fearless brand of cricket. We wanted to tick that box, bat first, put runs on the board, and try and defend. That's what I wanted from my boys, and they delivered."
He added:
"The boys worked day in and out, played a lot of cricket going into the series, showed a lot of character. Though the first game was washed out, wasn't easy to come here and level the series."
Suryakumar also heaped praise on Kuldeep Yadav, who took a 5-fer on his birthday. The skipper said:
"He's [Kuldeep] always hungry to deliver for the team. Nice birthday present for him, it's his birthday. It's important to know your game and what you can do for your team. I have thought the same, I just go out there and enjoy myself irrespective of the situation."
Both teams will now square off in the three-match ODI series, which begins on December 17 at the same venue.
